Mackinnon had two 50 point seasons before Rantanen burst through in his sophomore season. This included a year playing with Duchene and Landeskog where he put up 52 points, when Duchene had 59 and Landeskog had 53. There was a lot of problems in Colorado, true, but maybe Mackinnon also benefits from playing with Rantanen like Rantanen does playing with Mackinnon.
Also, Malkin, Ovechkin and McDavid were all drafted after Crosby...
