MacKinnon, Boeser, Schefiele, I just don't see the comparisons

MacKinnon lead his team in scoring, by far, as a 21 year old. Yes that was 53 points, but that's because of how bad the Avalanche were that season. He was still their best player before he broke out offensively this year.

Boeser is a rookie who was on pace for 39 goals before going down.

Schefiele has improved every season in his career up until he became a PPG player.

Bennett has had three seasons in a row where he regressed. His career path is far closer to the likes of Yakupov or Ryan Strome, except he never had a season as good as either of those guys.
