Projected No. 1 Pick Landon DuPont on What Makes Gavin McKenna So SPECIAL 👀

Projected No. 1 overall pick Landon DuPont joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill ahead of his first NCAA season with the Michigan Wolverines.

DuPont discusses his decision to leave the WHL for the NCAA, why the opportunity to play against older competition was a major factor, and the NHL defencemen he studies, including Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Jaccob Slavin and Jake Sanderson.

The conversation also turns to Gavin McKenna, who DuPont leaned on this summer after McKenna made the same transition from the WHL to the NCAA last season. DuPont shares what makes McKenna such a special player, pointing to his elite vision and ability to see plays develop before defenders can react.

Plus, DuPont reveals the advice Adam Fantilli gave him, how his family has helped keep him grounded, and whether he’ll be paying attention to the NHL standings throughout the season.

Topics discussed: Landon DuPont, Gavin McKenna, Michigan Wolverines, NCAA hockey, NHL Draft, Adam Fantilli, Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Jake Sanderson.
