I have never seen a 17 year old dominate like this

21 points puts him into a tie with Robert Reichel for 4th on the all-time single tournament list. Peter Forsberg holds the record with 31 in 7 games. That's probably not catchable, but second place is 24 points, which could be passed.
The best comparison, IMO, is Gretzky who put up 17 pts in 6 games as a 16 year old. Had it not been for the WHA, he would have returned as a 17 year old and probably puts up 30 points or more.

For more comparisons, McDavid had 11 pts as a 17YO and MacKinnon had 1.

(Forsberg was 19 when he put up 31)
