Mackinnon is not Crosby. He is not the consensus #1. In fact I would guess some have Drouin ahead of him. Three 1st rounders us too much to give up for what is likely to be a good to great player, but one that is not likely to be a true franchise changer.

Even if he is a guy like Stamkos is or Tavares, what good has that done those teams? I like the Flames chances with three picks much better.
