Leafs Land Top Pick McKenna
from Sports News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Toronto Maple Leafs stunned the hockey world by taking top pick Gavin McKenna, an 18-year-old phenom from Penn State, marking their first No. 1 selection since 1967. McKenna, who lit up the World Juniors with 4 goals and 10 assists, is already eager to learn from superstar Auston Matthews. San Jose followed with Swedish left wing Ivar Stenberg, while Vancouver snagged Caleb Malhotra — whose dad Manny is now the Canucks’ head coach and whose uncle is NBA legend Steve Nash. Malhotra, a 29-goal, 55-assist OHL standout, brings a stacked family pedigree to the NHL. Both rookies are calling the draft experience “unbelievable,” and fans are watching closely to see if they can turn dreams into dynasty-defining careers.
