Let's be honest though a top 5 pick doesn't even guarantee that. There is no top 5 pick this season that projects to be MacKinnon IMO.
MacKinnon is a top 2 player in the world and makes everyone around him that much better. It's starting to look like he made Rantanen look a lot better than maybe he actually is, and Makar's stats without MacKinnon aren't amazing either.
In the end they look like a tired team tonight, squeak out the win against Seattle to make sure you finish this tough 10 game stretch at .500 and then use the break to get healthy and get some energy back.
