Scouting Notes
Great college debut for McKenna.The playmaking winger displayed his elite vision, skating, and puck skills. Creates high-end scoring chances with excellent hands and awareness in all three zones. Identifies open ice well and excels at zone entries and off the rush. Great stick work and reads on defense, given penalty kill time, but lacked consistent engagement. Deployed in all situations. Projects as a top line playmaking winger.
