The guy has 96 points in 75 playoff games. Not otherworldly, by pretty good. Obviously MacKinnon is the better player, it's not disputed by anyone, but Rantanen is elite. Interestingly, there's a lot of chatter that COL won't be able to afford him after his contract runs out after the next season as they probably and understandably will build around MacKinnon and Makar.

Rantanen might be the second best winger in the leaguer, after Kucherov. He's in a group with Pasternak, Panarin and Draisaitl (face it, he's a winger now) and maybe Tkachuk.
