looking at ages
RNH, Kane, MacKinnon, and Barkov
Those are the only 4 yes's who were born past 6 months after the cut off, I think that seems to be the biggest factor
guys that are 6-8 months older than the others especially in that age group have a huge advantage
if Bennett started next year with the Flames he would be 8 months younger than when Monahan did
the late september-january time frame seems the most likely to step right in
