Gavin McKenna is making his Maple Leafs debut earlier than expected!

The Maple Leafs have named McKenna to their Prospect Showcase roster, giving fans their first chance to see the No. 1 pick in a Toronto jersey this weekend. The Leafs face the Ottawa Senators Saturday night before taking on the Winnipeg Jets Sunday afternoon.

Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down why Toronto is sending McKenna to the tournament, what the Leafs can learn from him before training camp, and what fans should realistically expect from the highly anticipated prospect.

Plus, the guys reveal their five prospects to watch at the showcase, including Tinus Luc Koblar, Alexander Bielecki, Tyler Hopkins and Patriks Plumins.
