Speaking of Mackinnon, was just looking at the stats.
forget everything except for comparing stats.
HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS-QMJHL 44GP 32G 43A = 75P
33 in 17GP in playoffs - 1.94 PPG
vs
Boston College HE 40GP 36G 44A = 80P
16 in 6GP in playoffs - 2.66 PPG
Considering Gaudreau was playing in a bigger, better league and was just as clutch if not more clutch than mackinnon makes me excited. The average size for NCAA is 6 feet and age is 22 years so I could see it being a seamless transition. Maybe a bit of slumpage when people start to focus on him, but all of the NCAA teams were trying to stop him already.
