Aren't Celebrini (and Misa if he actually goes first overall) rather "ordinary" first overall picks? As far as I know they're nowhere near the level of Bedard.
@@iCoolaxe I'd consider Celebrini an above average 1st overall, if he can relatively keep up this scoring pace. It's difficult to compare, with both Eichel and Fantilli being in draft classes with generational level prospects, but Macklin seems to be outpacing both of those guys. Misa however is nowhere near a lock for 1st overall in 2025 at this point, and I'd think James Hagens has surpassed him on most boards already, but it's of course too early to tell.
@@TheBusinessWalrus alot of Scouts are comparing Celebrini to Towes. For a short period Towes was considered the second best player in the NHL by many coaches. His heath took a dive early in his prime around 28 years old. Celebrini compares himself to Towes and Crosby. He's top six for sure. Like this Catton kid alot if Hawk don't get no 1. D men will be tempting. But there always a crapshoot and take long to develop.
McKenna is the most special kid i’ve seen play hockey in person. goes to my school and looks and acts like he’s 20. I could see him being better than mcdavid…

I played with Terry Ryan in pewee. He had like 400 goals in 80 games our final year. We played in front of packed stadiums at the international pewee tourney in Quebec. He played junior B at 14 and was drafted in the first round by the Canadiens.
Packed stadiums ? You would have only played in one stadium Le colise where the nordiques played and the games didn’t get full and buy full I mean 10,000 plus in the stands beginning in the quarter finals
@@crime_dog27 u dont know your capitals their is only 14 to remember. its the capital city of the Yukon , are u dumb ? capital cities are not towns ... even a 5ht grader knows this stuff
I've followed Minnesota high school hockey for decades and attended many state tournaments. I remember in the early 2000's Holy Angels Academy had a powerhouse team, wiping out the competition in the state tournament. That season they had played St. Mary's Shattuck and were shutout 6-0. That team is something else.
@@KempsStudio I don't know how schools are able to keep their stud players from leaving to juniors. I'm a Moorhead guy and we lose every great player after their junior year, even some after sophomore year to the junior teams. We are like Kentucky or Duke, never playing with seniors.
One on Lane Hudson would be awesome. Such a unique player. So unique that I'm not sure he'll have a traditional role/position in the NHL. I hope MST will see the opportunity to innovate with him (like a 3+1 "forwards" and a single real def - a situational tool, yes, but still extra leeway for the coach)
I haven't really watched him play at all but does his his brother Cole (likely first rounder this year) play the same way? They have 2 other brothers but Quinn is a RW (playing with Lane and Macklin Celebrini at BU) and Lars is just 15 years old.
@@jonmendelson1104 I mean, there are comparable aspect in a few other young stars and future (imho) ones, but Lane is a D, but almost in name only. His skating on tight spaces is something I've never seem before, period. Like it's as if he has bionic ankles or something; it's beautiful in a way. Definitely recommend to check him out, you'll understand what I mean. IDK how anything he does will work and/or be used for in the NHL, but we'll see. His numbers everywhere he went were either elite or straight up record breaking, so he'll get his shot with the big boys for sure.
10:55 "Has your local area ever had a kid who made it to the NHL." Celebrini played a season for the Jr Sharks and as you said he's very likely to go 1OA this year. Does he count as my local area or since he's from Vancouver does he count for them.
Jason Arnott and Todd Miller. Todd was drafted by the Islanders but only ever wanted to coach. Many believe he's the best player of the two. Edit... there were only about 10k people in my town at the time.
So glad to be able to watch McKenna play for my hometown team, and have Bedard on my favorite NHL team. They are both amazing athletes so early in their career and really know how to put on a show for hockey fans, it's unbelievable.
Surprisingly. We had three players play in the NHL. Eddie Beers. Paul mulvey, and his brother Grant... All from the little town of Merritt, B.C. A town of 7,000 people in British Columbia, Canada.
Yeah, Celebrini is a fantastic shooter, but thats like the 3rd most prominent element of his game. Hes more of an all around sound hockey player that happens to have world class skill. Kind of likeTrottier Yzerman, Sakic, Toews
I grew up in Winnipeg in St.Vital on the same street as Nigel Dawes. I used to play street hockey with him growing up. He’s about 8 years older so once he made it to the NHL, he would join my team as a guest coach once a year. Really nice guy. Toews also grew up in the same area and they eventually named our community centre after him. Played against many that made it to the NCAA or WHL. Only player I played against that played in the NHL was Adam Brooks on the Leafs. Side note: I also grew up and played against the infamous Travis Ridgen aka trav4oilers haha
Yep we had a local guy! Luc Bourdon, what a player but tragically died in a motorcycle accident on the road who's reputation is the worst in the region probably due to speeding and immense cross winds
Yes I played junior B and went to high school with Scott Levens he played 8 years in the NHL. Spokane WA. There's about 5 guys now that play in the NHL and a dozen in the AHL that were born raised in spokane Wa
few guys are from my area, for example David Špaček, Dominik Kubalík, Adam and David Jiříček and from the older generation Petr Sýkora and Martin Straka
As a Flyers fan, its been a LONG time since I've been this excited about a prospect like Michkov. And yes, I too have been frustrated about how they don't seem to really commit to rebuilding haha.
@@habs7646you can say that again as a habs fan also he didnt want to play for us dont matter tho cause we gonna tank again for this player and flyers are going to chase for playoffs since they have michkov
I’m from the uk so the closest person in my local area is probably Liam kirk who was the first Brit to be born and trained to ever get drafted. Of course there’s someone even more local up in scotland, Tony Hand who if never got homesick could have been a nhl player and be the first Brit to ever play in the nhl
Gavin didn’t get ES, he got denied, they’s a rule of 15 games in the WHL for underages but he’s allowed to play if they’s an injury or play offs. So he got in more games then he should. We were at fishing when he got denied
Being the NHL draft delay, and the best accomplishments up and comers can pull off is like 3 or 4 goals a game. It's actually kind of funny to me. My record so far is 20 goals in the first period. Everyone is trying to be the next McDavid. His skills are definitely easier to catch than mine are, but I wonder who will ever have the closest chance to keep up with my performance on the ice.
I’m a couple years older than Trevor Moore, used to watch him play when I’d ref at your idea when he was in his early teens! Being a kings fan I love watching him play for his childhood team, dudes on a career year to start the season
Also got the honor of playing against thatcher demko in some pick up games when he was 15-16, kid was huge and unbelievable in net! Still tell people about him and that I snuck one past him on a breakaway…I leave out the him being 16 part tho 😅😅😅 hell of a goalie and young man tho
Wow. That McKenna’s kid is just filthy good. When you were showing the replays of his goals and such. If he keeps up that dodging the opponents and end up alone to score a goal. He’s gonna be a good one. Mathews does the same. But this kid. Just wow. Wouldn’t it be funny if the Hawks ended up drafting him to play along side his cousin Bedard. That’s a NASTY 1-2 punch.
Brad Lambert years before his draft was just unreal. Then fell to the 30th in the draft. Kid still has ton of potential, but not nearly as much the hype like a 1st overall draft pick he was supposed to be.
Not hockey but a kid i went to High School with won the World Series in baseball. My closest brush to sport greatness even though i never interacted with him really.
If you look at the whl especially medicine hat tigers, prince Albert raiders, Saskatoon blades, and prince George cougars those 4 teams will be carrying the whl and maybe even the chl
It'll be interesting to see...Misa's been falling down the rankings and is being talked about as more of a Shane Wright level player than a Bedard/McKenna type and I've seen him projected to go in the 4-6 range in the 2025 draft as opposed to 1st. Obviously it's still very early and things can change but it's possible he's just a very good player in the show as opposed to a star.

My little town had one guy who actually made it to the NHL and won 3 Stanley Cups its Niklas Hjalmarsson. I remember watching him play with our senior team on defence as a 14 year old against fully grown men and just wreck them.
Did you know former Bruins and Habs small forward Sergei Samsonov was a legend in the minors in Russia ? He socred goals to the Gretzky pace in the major junios too
Troy Drafted off our high school team when we were a dynasty in Illinois back in 2006. Yeah he was a late rounder but we were ecstatic. Then the guy chose a girl over a future in hockey. I hear they’re still together and happy to this day so..idk 🤷♂️. I wasn’t that good and was jealous and mad for a long time. Troy’s dad was Nick Leddy’s board/host when he played for the IceHogs. Kept trying to set Leddy up with my now wife. We joke to this day that she chose me over Leddy. Nbd. 😎lol
his future was most likely the echl or simliar paying leagues 500$ a week no stability dosent sound great ... alot of late rounderss dont even have a ahl future ... why be a bum in the echl struggling when u can get a real job
I have a feeling that michkov won't step on American ice. I think this is just how every draft class will be from now on. Kids have access to learn every skill from UA-cam and other media. Times are changing
So Celebrini is going to be an Arizona Coyote as a last chance by Harry Buttman to save Hockey in the desert. Also, Michkov's dad was murdered by the FSB, probably for trying to get his son to defect across the new iron curtain.
this is why europeans are doing great in nhl. they are playing vs men or older boys alot earlier in their career then in US/CAN. Leo Carlson´s stats are actually better in NHL then in EU.
It's all a mater of when the body gets its final heights/mass ratio. I ended growing up at 10 or so, but NHL future stars are way more athletic than I was so ther ebecomes a point if they have their growth push yet or not to become able to face off oolder dudes. 1st year of high school (7th grade in candad) I was able to stand up to senios in 5th high school grade (12th grade overall in canada). 11 to 16 in high school i was my till permanent height of 5'11"3/4 or 6ft depending on the foot I stand on

Gavin Mckenna was not granted exceptional status as a 15. he played extra games due to the Tigers Injuries and was granted an Emergency Exception. Mckenna is also not Bedards' cousin. Their are a ton of media articles saying they are cousins, but that isn't the case - Lifelong MH Tigers Fan
I mean technically he was granted exceptional status. He was also drafted a year earlier which is as close to exceptional status as it gets. And major publications have reported he’s a distant cousin as in 2nd and 3rd cousin. Not his direct cousin, but still a cousin. Hockey runs deep in the family
Sorry you were right on the cousin thing. It's cousin by marriage. He wasn't granted an exemption though by hockey canada. He has a "late birthdate" of December 20th, so even though this year is his "16 year old season". He is still only 15 until december 20th,. Nonetheless His talent is mindblowing and he's so calm on the ice.
Mckenna played in the world championships here on pei for one of team Canada and half the games he looked massively overrated and puck hogged a lot, throwing one or two games almost himself. He had some great plays but he was being very selfish more of the time

Troy’s dad was Nick Leddy’s board/host when he played for the IceHogs. Kept trying to set Leddy up with my now wife.
We joke to this day that she chose me over Leddy. Nbd. 😎lol
his future was most likely the echl or simliar paying leagues 500$ a week no stability dosent sound great ... alot of late rounderss dont even have a ahl future ... why be a bum in the echl struggling when u can get a real job
10:55 went to elementary school with Kaedan and Ryder Korczak
Had no idea cellebrini played for the steel
Used to play at the edge all the time
Looks like the rink hasn't changed much in 10+ years
Misa is 2025 draft eligible and McKenna is 2026, not the same draft.
Great video sir
Does anyone know if Bedard and McKenna are first cousins or distant cousins? Like did they grow up together?
It’s a distant thing and by marriage from what I’d heard
Distant
This video dropped 14 hours ago. Bedard and McKenna are trending on elite prospects in slot 1 and 2...
How is he so tall, while only being a year older than me
I've been on this kid since catching him in a WHL game late last season but I had no idea he was related to Bedard lol
I have a feeling that michkov won't step on American ice. I think this is just how every draft class will be from now on. Kids have access to learn every skill from UA-cam and other media. Times are changing
You see a kid rack up 200 points as a peewee and you've gotta wonder what he's learning skating around 2 legged pylons and scoring at will.
GM- Celebrini, what postion do u play?
Celebrini - I score goals
Pat maroon and Clayton Keller both came from the St. Louis area
Sault-Sainte-Marie
SOW saint marie
Sault in french is the same a SAUT or in english SOW
So Celebrini is going to be an Arizona Coyote as a last chance by Harry Buttman to save Hockey in the desert.
Also, Michkov's dad was murdered by the FSB, probably for trying to get his son to defect across the new iron curtain.
The WHL looks like the NHL in the late '80s. Hockey is evolving.
Gonna be the best indigenous hockey player
You should cover more prospects?
My mother went to the same high school as Steve Yzerman at bell high school in bells corners ottawa
Bowen byram grew up just a few houses from my grandma.
Him and Mesa are in back to back drafts 2025 and 2026 Mesa in 2005 and him in 2026.
I recently got to watch mckenna in the u17 tournament in PEI and man he looks really good
is he eligible for this world juniors in Sweden
this is why europeans are doing great in nhl. they are playing vs men or older boys alot earlier in their career then in US/CAN. Leo Carlson´s stats are actually better in NHL then in EU.
I'm gonna go on a limb but I think Cayden Lindstrom will make a impact in the NHL. he plays on the same team as Gaven Mckenna
Yall talking about celebrini being the best ncaa prospect forgetting when Paul Kariya put up like 130 points
Mike Matheson grew up in my area and went to my school
It's all a mater of when the body gets its final heights/mass ratio. I ended growing up at 10 or so, but NHL future stars are way more athletic than I was so ther ebecomes a point if they have their growth push yet or not to become able to face off oolder dudes. 1st year of high school (7th grade in candad) I was able to stand up to senios in 5th high school grade (12th grade overall in canada). 11 to 16 in high school i was my till permanent height of 5'11"3/4 or 6ft depending on the foot I stand on
Noah Dobson is from my small hometown
Have a few from our surrounding nation, Ethan & Kirk Bear

How is Bedard and mckenna related ?
Cousins 1st removed.
Finally 100k? (its been since 2019)
Can Makenna play in the WJC
Sounds like Napoleon Dynamite in need of a turbo-charged neti pot.
Hate to say this but Misa is getting drafted 2025 with Mackenna getting drafted 2026
some kids who barley made the nhl and aren’t really making a splash are these tkachuk brothers i think their names are brady and matthew? but the real man is the 3 time cup winner pat maroon
Logan Couture born and raised in Guelph Ont
Gavin Mckenna was not granted exceptional status as a 15. he played extra games due to the Tigers Injuries and was granted an Emergency Exception. Mckenna is also not Bedards' cousin. Their are a ton of media articles saying they are cousins, but that isn't the case - Lifelong MH Tigers Fan
I mean technically he was granted exceptional status. He was also drafted a year earlier which is as close to exceptional status as it gets. And major publications have reported he’s a distant cousin as in 2nd and 3rd cousin. Not his direct cousin, but still a cousin. Hockey runs deep in the family
Sorry you were right on the cousin thing. It's cousin by marriage. He wasn't granted an exemption though by hockey canada. He has a "late birthdate" of December 20th, so even though this year is his "16 year old season". He is still only 15 until december 20th,. Nonetheless His talent is mindblowing and he's so calm on the ice.
Mckenna played in the world championships here on pei for one of team Canada and half the games he looked massively overrated and puck hogged a lot, throwing one or two games almost himself. He had some great plays but he was being very selfish more of the time
You sound ridiculous lmao go look at his points my guy the stuff you are saying seriously something wrong with you
@LETZGONHLdraft I’m talking about world championships when he played for team Canada white or red.
Hockey players from my town: Kris Letang and Jose Theodore
An nhl player from my town, doubt anyones heard of him, hid name is Chris Chelios
Good player but was somewhat of a dirtbag.
unlike bedard? there all same old same old bedard ?? changed nhl to the bedard show he ?even fills out chicago stadium
The league is in very good hands
Misa and McKenna are different draft years.
