Agency: Premium

The defensive zone was really where McKown shone brightest. His game lends itself better to centre than it does the wing, simply because he's so damn good at supporting his defencemen in the corners and his wings in transition. He plays sound positional hockey and picks up the open person well to mitigate scoring opportunities. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
