You'll have to highlight where I said he was lazy because I missed that.
Barkov's skating has been described - by more than one scouting report - as: average / needs work / not as good as some / pretty good etc.
MacKinnon's skating is described as excellent and explosive.
Barkov is big, but show me quotes describing him as a physical player. Show me quotes that praise his work ethic as off the charts.
I never once called him lazy or anything close to that. However, I have pointed out that MacKinnon's work ethic has been praised and highlighted.
On my firat line, I don't want a wrecking ball, I want leaders. I want my firat line to be not only talented, but also the hardest working guys on teh team. I think we'll have that with Baertschi. And it looks pretty certain that you would get that with MacKinnon. Show me why I should be as confident about that with Barkov.
