Wow.
I get that MacKinnon had a slow start to his NHL career, but leading up to the 2013 NHL entry draft he was being compared to Sidney Crosby. Today he is arguably one of the two or three best hockey players on the planet.
I like Pierre-Luc Dubois, but I don't see anything in his game that makes me think he is a burgeoning, all-world generational talent in the mould of Nathan MacKinnon.
