ok I disagree with Draisaitl, fine. but how can multiple people justify McDavid as more VALUABLE than MacKinnon for this past season?

Wow I didn't realize just how much MacKinnon carried the Avalanche this year - seems like they had a lot of injuries to their forward lineup. If you weren't paying attention like me, you'd think for sure McDavid/Draisaitl would have carried Edmonton more because the rest of their roster is garbage, since Colorado has Rantanen/Landeskog/Kadri - but those guys were injured for 63 man-games this season. I wonder if many other journalists who vote for McDavid were similarly ignorant.
