Haven't read the thread and definitely reactionary, but the thing that has always separated MacKinnon for me when it comes to other #1 overall draft picks/top players is his ability to step up and deliver in big moments and in big games. This has happened throughout junior, in the World Cup and his short playoff career. You can say other players are better at this and that, and during the regular season, but IMO he will be one of, if not, THE best playoff performers in this era. And depending on how you measure a player, it could be argued he is the best because of this ability. All I know I'm happy he's on my team and I'll wait for him to win a Conn Smythe or 2 before making any proclamations
