Why the Leafs SHOULD Draft Gavin McKenna First Overall | Steven Ellis

Daily Faceoff Prospect Analyst Steven Ellis joined Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta to break down his updated top 100 NHL Draft rankings and why he believes Gavin McKenna should be the Toronto Maple Leafs’ pick first overall. Ellis discussed what makes McKenna such a special talent, what Leafs fans could expect from him in a rookie season, and debated the pros and cons of McKenna versus Ivar Stenberg.

Additionally, the conversation touched on Stenberg’s strong showing at the World Championship and how it’s impacted his draft stock. Ellis also discussed Leafs prospect Tinus Luc Koblar’s impressive play for Norway at Worlds, plus the Toronto Marlies’ playoff run. He praised the performances of Easton Cowan, Ben Danford, and Artur Akhtyamov, while adding that Dennis Hildeby should be with the Leafs next season. Ellis even suggested there’s a world where Hildeby and Akhtyamov eventually become Toronto’s NHL tandem in goal.
