The Bedard draft started the trend of high-level players coming into the NHL that trained similarly to McDavid. This next draft looks insanely good too. I think we are about to enter a golden age of talent.
Unless they All get injured from being so small and young brains not done developing either But then again boxers can start the same way Still have to take care of your fighter 1 fight or game could changed a fighter forever
@kinolokki5953 He's playing with horrible linemates and he's a smaller player. He's going to be the best out of the 3, y'all are giving up way too soon on him!
He probably won’t get same level of media hype that Bedard got but he’s definitely worthy of being considered the same tier of prospect, if not greater
Not getting 1st line minutes, that's for sure. Tracked as having the most shots and chances on the team but only playing 15 minutes per game (via Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects). Hockey Canada is having a serious problem with putting their top guys in top minutes when they're not older.
@@bigheadhockeydefinitely. Some guys deserve way more ice time in different situations, and other older guys should be parked. It’s hard to watch sometimes.
We made sure to mention that at the end. Still insane how much they can communicate how much McKenna can learn from Bedard going through the process 3 years prior.
Because, we are analyzing a new potential first overall. People will want to know about this guy. Also, being in one game and putting up good points while being 16 is impressive.
this years edition could be called team ontario. i'd like to know what the selection process is and who makes them. i've been watching this tournament every year since it started and this is one of the weakest teams assembled.
Kyle Dubas: "And the Pittsburgh Penguins select with the 1st overall pick Gavin McKenna"!!!!!!!!!! Kyle Dubas: "And the Pittsburgh Penguins select with the 1st overall pick Landon Dupont"!!!!!!!!! Those will two great additions to the Pens. LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jfkst1 We need Roger McQueen from this years draft if we fail. I hope we get the 8th seed and knock off the Caps as the 1st seed. 1 last Sid vs Ovi before the TANK!
There will never be another mcdavid, people weren't comparing Bedard to Mcdavid, they were saying he was that top tier of prospect and he still is by the way
@ of course there will be another mcdavid. Players like Gretzky, lemioux, Crosby, ovetchkin and mcdavid have been coming around about once every generation. Why would it all the sudden stop at mcdavid? Bedard is not in the same level as those players I mentioned, McKenna definitely could be at this pace. When mcdavid was McKenna’s age and playing in the same league he got 10 less goals than McKenna got this year. Meaning McKenna is statistically on track to outperform mcdavid, if the rate continues (which it definitely might not, but it’s a stat worth noting)
@andrewstanford4071 Bedard as a prospect he absolutely is he put up mcdavid numbers in the lowest scoring league in the CHL hes candas all-time goal and points scorer at any world juniors and is 3rd all time among any nation. His ppg pace was only behind Crosby and Mcdavid, in an 18 year old since 2000. He had twelve game goal drought and during that time was still leading the hawks in points and was still a near ppg player. There will never be another player as dominant as Mcdavid. Mckenna is great but he's not gonna be as good as mcdavid. And there's nothing wrong with that Mckenna can be generational and not be as good as Mcdavid like Bedard is. But you need to pump the brakes on casting judgement on a 19 year old superstar and a 17 year old prospect
@ are you saying that mcdavid is more dominant than Crosby, Gretzky, and lemioux? Because saying there won’t be a player more dominant than mcdavid implies that he’s more dominant than Gretzky was, that’s an insane take. And I never said McKenna will certainly be better than mcdavid, but he definitely could be. Saying there will never be a player like him is kinda short sided, if one person can do it then eventually another can
@andrewstanford4071 Bro. Mcdavid being dominant and Gretzky being dominant aren't mutually exclusive But yes Mcdavid is probably the most talented player to ever touch ice. He's definitely more dominant than Crosby and lemiuex. Gretzky is arguable. But he put 150 points after the development in goalies, defensive structures and overall player skill. He's undeniably the best player in the world. No one is ever going to be as absolutely insane as Mcdavid even Gavin mckenna and connor Bedard. Bedard or Mckenna who looks to be on bedsys level of prospect so far might cement themselves as the best player in the world, but neither of them are going to be as dominant as Mcdavid. And there's nothing wrong with that but if Mcdavid wins a cup im pretty sure the conversation is between him and gretzky while crosby is going to be top 10 all time Bedard and Mckenna might be top 10 all time, but Connor Mcdavid has already cemented himself as #2 and if he wins a cup he's possibly #1

The bedard draft year was an awful talent pool.
Including bedard.
2025 will be even worse.
Hockey jr talent peaked with mcdavid. Especially canadians.

@@b3n751Bedard is one hit away from retirement
this years draft class is not very impressive, definitely no generational talents
@@thejfk_experience490 generational talent doesn't make a draft great or not. Quality and quantity needs to be taken into consideration
Celebrini, Bedard, and McKenna will run the NHL
berard is not worth the hype
Was last year but isn't living up to it this year
@kinolokki5953 He's playing with horrible linemates and he's a smaller player. He's going to be the best out of the 3, y'all are giving up way too soon on him!
@@wresling300 just watch him on ice.. Bedard doesn’t look nearly as skilled as the other two boys.
@chocolateboiYep-d1phe’s rly not doing that bad, 30 pt in 35 games on gutter team
Whos watching after the Latvia game?
Canada ,I don’t even know what they did in that game they were idk they sucked goalies didn’t though
Can't wait to see him in the NHL. Yukon Gold !!!
This is a very underrated channel. Keep up the good work!
You make the best hockey analysis videos!
Good video. I alway love how you show the overall for each category, bc most of us will understand that the best.
It’s fun watching him live in Ottawa I wish they would play him more!,,
He probably won’t get same level of media hype that Bedard got but he’s definitely worthy of being considered the same tier of prospect, if not greater
Mckenna plays on my city's whl team, ive met him lots, he's a good guy.
Please don't let him get drafted by the Penguins, please
😊
It’s him and/or Dupont
Kyle Dubas will pay 16 million a year for 8
elite video mate, McKenna is gonna be nasty
Appreciate it! Hopefully he takes that step into being one of those insane rookie talents.
Great vids!
Hes going to have ALOT of assists
Love these type of vids. Can we get a Matthew Schaeffer vid?
Closer to the draft we might make one! He's a great player - super tough about his collar bone...
Prospect Shifts W
And here I am as a kraken fan just wanna watch berkly cattons development
Where in Fffffffff was he tonight against Latvia fffs

McKenna
Drafted this guy in my 2026 NHL draft in NHL 25 and am just finding out who he is lol
Gotta get coach to put him through strength training in the offseason 😂
McDavid, Mckinnon, Macklin( Celebrini), McKenna....I'm starting to see a patern here 🤔
No Celebrini because his last name is not a m lollll if it’s first name than my aswell include Michal backlund😂
latvia beat us its over
First overall definite
imo it's (was i guess) Matthew Schaefer but mckenna is nasty can't deny
They should get drafted by wild
Bedard's cousin via marriage. They aren't related.
We made sure to mention that at the end. Still insane how much they can communicate how much McKenna can learn from Bedard going through the process 3 years prior.
Stud
Dawg he played 1 game, the tournament literally started less than 24 hours ago, what could you possibly spend 8 minutes yapping about
Because, we are analyzing a new potential
first overall. People will want to know about this guy. Also, being in one game and putting up good points while being 16 is impressive.
Why r u here?
Because he's the best player in the chl and he's barely 17
if you actually watched the video youll see multiple games hes played in. theres a reason hes projected 1st overall in 2026
Buddy watch the video
this years edition could be called team ontario. i'd like to know what the selection process is and who makes them. i've been watching this tournament every year since it started and this is one of the weakest teams assembled.
McKenna will be one of the best nhl players in the next few years
I agree with everything in the video. Just not at all in the world juniors, looked invisible against the best
Kucherov 2.0. I don't think he's generational. I don't think Bedard is either.
Kyle Dubas: "And the Pittsburgh Penguins select with the 1st overall pick Gavin McKenna"!!!!!!!!!!
Kyle Dubas: "And the Pittsburgh Penguins select with the 1st overall pick Landon Dupont"!!!!!!!!!
Those will two great additions to the Pens.
LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The league would hate Pittsburgh so much it would be hilarious.
@@jfkst1 We need Roger McQueen from this years draft if we fail. I hope we get the 8th seed and knock off the Caps as the 1st seed. 1 last Sid vs Ovi before the TANK!
I would actually quit watching hockey I swear
@@BloodRider1914 New Crosby and a new Letang.
Sids doing really good even at his age the pens aren't showing up.
I think mckenna looks a lot better than bedard. he'll probably be in the convorsation with mcdavid when he's in his 20's

If he was is great where was he during the Latvia game
he gives datsyuk vibes but scores more
OVERRATED!!!! Bro is softer than margarine
