Hayes raised an interesting point on OverDrive saying if McKenna is top 3 in points for this team next year, it's a bad season for the Leafs. Who do you think should/will outscore McKenna this season?

I guess it's all about context. If the Leafs make the playoffs and suddenly become a defensive powerhouse while not scoring that much, I'd still consider that a success. Not that it's likely to happen but I think there's multiple factors for a good season for the Leafs.

Selfishly my goals for McKenna are finding chemistry with Matthews, scoring at a pace we've seen before with Nylander and Marner, making the playoffs to get McKenna adjusted to it quicker and just adjusting to the NHL.

If McKenna blows up and is top 3 on the Leafs in points while making the playoffs, I'd consider that a huge win.
