MacKinnon is Duschene 2.0. Not Crosby. I don't think any player in this year's draft matches that criteria. Not to say any aren't as good, but each seems to have different skill sets. And then there's Ekblad.
I really haven't seen a lot of any of them, just snippets and what I've heard on here from posters and scouts. That said and not to rehash what many of you already know about each of these players, I think this will be a draft that may be unprecedented in terms of team need.
It's a great draft to be in the top 5 and not give up a limb to move up, unless Burke really has his eye on a guy. The more I think about it, the more I like this scenario.
