I cannot believe the talk about Barkov over MacKinnon.

Yes, Barkov is big and that is good. And yes, Barkov is playing in a men's league. But who gives a crap what league they are playing in? I don't care how 'NHL ready' they are.

I want the best player.

MacKinnon has explosive speed. Explosive. And his work ethic has been called off the charts.

Size is great. BUt I'll take work ethic (read: leadership) and explosive skating every time.
