I don't buy it. Too simple of a statement.
Hockey is a team sport. singling out individuals, arguably the two best players in the game no less, for comparison to predict team success isn't a strong argument. Could Vegas beat the Oilers or the Avalanche? I think there is a good chance of that happening. who is their number 1 C? William Karlson?
Reminder: both the Oilers and Avalanche lost to teams with No.1 C's that are no where near the equivalent of McDavid or MacKinnon this past year. The year prior MacKinnon's Avalanche lost to Logan Couture's Sharks and the Oilers were doing their thing up North.
