Remember, if the NHL drafted 17 year olds instead of 18, Sean would've been a top three pick. Things can change on a yearly basis.

Perfect examples of this are Doug Wickenheiser (not to be confused with superstar Hayley Wickenheiser), Patrick Stefan, and Alexander Daigle.
All #1 pics, and the best players out there in their draft year (according to scientific analysis by the scouts
) and all busts.
Not saying MacKinnen will be a bust.. just saying that its a possibility that he isn't the best player picked.
