Well we haven't seen the full scouting reports that will come out in May so its hard to completely compare them without having seen a ton of them. I've seen a few games of MacKinnon and only highlights of Barkov.
But MacKinnon's strengths seem to be skating and tenacious forechecking combined with a a high skill level.
Barkov is bigger, stronger and not as good of a skater.
Not sure you can really go wrong if you have to pick between them. I'd be happy with either.
