he is still by far the best in the league. He just went on a historic run in the playoffs and the only reason he didn’t lead the league last year is due to his poor start due to injury. He hasn’t had a roster close to tampa’s peak or colorodo’s. He creates more scoring chances and converts on them more than anyone in the league. I think if he is fully healthy this year he will eclipse 160+. This is edmonton’s best roster they have had with mcdavid and he is going to have his best season of his career
For me, the difference between McDavid and MacKinnon is that, if you told me mcdavid would have 200 points this year, I’d probably say that checks out. If you told me MacKinnon had 150 points, I’d have a hard time believing it.
I think the only person who's really narrowing the gap is MacKinnon, he's nearly as fast and almost as good as McDavid with his skates and with his stick, but he's also more physical. I don't think his gamesense/hockey IQ is as good as McDavid's, but it'll definitely improve as he becomes more of a veteran
Yeah lol he’s not narrowing any gap. McDavid is widening it by a lot. McDavid is considerably younger and has been averaging a considerable more points than Mac every season and as well the Oilers have better players which makes it harder for McDavid to max out his points now. With Draisaitl and him on different lines and Drai also averaging a lot of points brings McDavid’s point averages down but it’s a good thing for the organization. Mac was better when he had Kadri

God i hope so. But i really couldn't frickin care less if he doesn't bring the cup home to edmonton.

All the guys chasing McDavid for number 1 are older than him. It’s not like a young up and coming Crosby is here.

Except MacKinnon is 29 and McDavid is 27 so MacKinnon will start slowing down sooner especially since he’s a bigger and heavier guy.

Stayed the same.
Mcdavid disappears here and there in the playoffs , the media rides him it’s fuking stupid
McDavid sucks. Couldn't even score in the final round to get to game 7
Mackinnon has a cup , Mcdavid is a choke , no comparison
mackinnon is the best player in the world , period
