Watching McKinnon he's far more dynamic then McDavid, he's willing to do more then just rush down one side of the ice. His willingness to go directly to dangerous areas and his back check is amazing. As much as I believed that McDavid was probably on the way to being the best player in the NHL with Sid getting older, I'm not so sure.

McKinnon is every bit as good at speed, he's a hard stick handler, he uses his team mates well, and in at least one game I saw him use 8 cross overs on one rush breaking Connor's record of 7
