My recollection was that MacKinnon was the clear favourite going into that draft year. As usual, nits are picked and other guys get more mentions, but I still think MacKinnon would have been the favourite.
Jones was interesting, because he did have a ton of hype, started to drop and then was picked by the one franchise that arguably didn't really need him (Preds).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
