Watched enough MacKinnon on what team and in what league, on what line?
MacKinnon is a great talent but people on here acting like Monahan isnt even close to better are just speaking off their jr careers and numbers / highlights.
I think we will look back at the 13/14/15 drafts and MacKinnon, Ekblad and McDavid/Day wont be the best players. Just my gut feeling.. You always have amazing players in every draft and theres just as good a chance the top pick doenst become the top player as there is a chance that some 2nd/3rd/4th rounder + (ala Weber) develops more post draft than the top rated players did pre-draft. In my opinion the Oilers best player is Eberle and he wasnt a 1st overall. He plays better than their 1st picks on a nightly basis.
People love buying hype...not saying MacKinnon is hype but I am shocked people are already calling him a generational talent and the best player of the draft, the flames gm's would take him for Monahan in a trade etc...you guys put way too much stock in junior career. And this comes from a BIG MacKinnon/Drouin fan.
I loved watching them play and they are young stars but who knows who will be or is better suited to the NHL game.
