Yep, if any player can do it, MacKinnon's the one.
This is from
a Sportsnet article where a high-end trainer from the Penguins who trains a variety of elite players in the summer including Crosby and Mackinnon talks about having them do hill runs:

The rest of the field started to tail off as the reps went on. By the fifth or sixth trip, the other campers were dropping a second or more behind their best times. MacKinnon, though, didn’t fade — he kept clocking 14.9, again and again, like clockwork. “Only on the last rep was there any change and it was 15 flat or maybe another tenth, barely anything at all,” O’Brien says. “That hill-running drill, it just shouldn’t work out that way. If your muscle composition is built for power you should fatigue more rapidly than the average and if your composition is for endurance, you shouldn’t be able to explode as well.”
