Him and Drouin are tied for points in the playoffs. I just think the transition to the NHL will be much better for MacKinnon, aka he'll do better in the NHL.
It's why I like Barkov so much, though his highlights aren't earth shattering, their good hockey plays. The kind of plays that transfer to the NHL, not the "make the defender look like a pylon" which most of the time doesn't.
