If you watch Mackinnon's highlights compared to Barkov's (I know the leagues are different) there is a huge difference. Mackinnon is explosive and will create a ton of scoring chances on his own. He will make an impact every shift. Barkov is big and will be a great centre but will not be the same calibre. He reminds me of Jagr as a centre while Mackinnon seems more like Sid.
