The way i see it with mctavish is sure hes 18 but most of the kids that are drafted have not yet have the body for the NHL thats why those 2 years or so are good for them to grow more before they come. With mctavish that’s something u literally dont have to wait for. Hes 6’1 and almost 210 pounds. Sure he can go and dominate the OHL like he did as a 16 year old or he can come and learn about the NHL, weight gaining, defense, offense, real NHL coaching to further his development. Being used as a 4th line guy with limited minutes but top notch everything else is better for him than anything the OHL can offer him atm.
