I've argued that McDavid is blazing fast, great on his skates, has a good shot. But he's not a super well rounded player. At time he seems to be incredibly selfish with the puck. I don't think his game has changed all that much since he got to the NHL. He doesn't give that big of a crap about the defensive side of the game,
You look at McKinnen, and his game has certainly evolved, I think he's also a far smarter player then McDavid and less selfish.
When that day comes when McDavid hits the age where he loses that inevitable step, his decline will be pretty rapid.
