McKenna’s Rise Begins with Tavares | Sports News

Toronto’s big gamble pays off as they draft Gavin McKenna first overall—and veteran John Tavares is already opening his home to the rookie, signaling a major mentorship role. Expect McKenna to explode onto the scene, possibly skating alongside Auston Matthews by holiday, with Calder Trophy buzz and 60+ point projections already swirling. Fantasy players? Grab Colton Sissons now—but be ready to trade him once McKenna hits the ice. The real question? Where he lands: Matthews’ line? Tavares & Nylander? And how he slots into the power play could define his rookie stats. All signs point to a breakout year—and a lineup-altering debut.
