Not a chance, IMO.
Colorado is deep with talent, no question. But the primary reason that they are as good as they are is that their best player leads by example, and carries them to a higher level.
McDavid NEVER does that. He makes incredible individual plays, but he doesn't elevate his teammates anywhere nearly as much as MacKinnon does.
