Because I think that is a very silly thing to claim at this point.
Barkov is playing in an elite professional men's league, where he is top 10 in scoring.
McKinnon is not even top-10 in scoring in his junior league where he is playing against boys.
They are the same age.
I just don't see him as having some kind of fatal shakespearean flaw in his game, that allows him to be a PPG scorer at 17 years old in one of the top professional leagues in the world, but will hold him back behind kids playing juniors at the same age.
