I may be reaching a bit here, and I understand the injury situation, but if you have to re-do the 2013 draft do you take Monahan over MacKinnon? Even before the MacKinnon injury Monahan was outproducing him and put up similar goal totals the year before (MacKinnon slaughtered him in points but don't forget the year Colorado had last year compared to the Flames).

Personally I think it's still too early to tell with MacKinnon, but in my mind there's no doubt I take him over Barkov/Drouin/Lindholm (Jones is tough, he's a defenseman, hard to compare).

Curious to hear what others think of Monahan vs MacKinnon so far in their career. Regardless, I think we got at worst the 2nd best player in that draft at the 6th overall pick.
