And yapukov?Nathan MacKinnon very easily. There's a reason he went first overall.
MacKinnon played on a worse team and plays center, but they're pretty much the same tier of player
Didn't know where to put this but I took a look at MacK's gamelogs and it's crazy the way things line up with the duchene trade...and the rumoured knowledge in the locker-room that the trade was almost done a week or two prior to the trade actually happening.
Looking at MacK's pointless games he had 6 in 14 games pre trade...with 4 multi-point games, all coming in the 4 games preceding the trade; during that 10 day window that the players supposedly already knew it was happening...1 pointless game in 2 they played in Sweden right after the trade, and only 3 in the 12 games they've played since getting back from Sweden (5 multi-point games). All of MacK's multi point games have come since the players supposedly found out and he's producing with much more regularity. It really seems like getting to "be the man" for this team is jiving with MacK right now. If he keeps playing like this...even if the production cools off some...we've got a legit franchise player on our hands; not just a top line star.
Speaking of flash in the pan. Isnt that exactly what mackinnon has been last two seasons prior to this one?
Has Willy lived up to his rookie hype?The recency bias is strong in this one! Mac having the better season so far but has only lived up to his hype his rookie season. I'll take Willy until Mac proves consistency. Suggesting Matthews is the better comparable is laughable imo.

This is some next level conspiracy theory type shitNylander is a 90 point player already with the potential to hit 100, the Leafs and Babcock are just playing him less and in worse situations so they can suppress his stats and get the AAV on his next contact down.
You'll all be eating your words come next year.

Do yourself a favor and dont comment on players you dont know anything about. The fact you think Mackinnon's rookie year was his best season is all you needed to say to announce to everyone else in this thread you're talking out of your ass.

I honestly cant tell if this is a serious post or not.
I hope to god it isn't, but you never know around here these days.
Nylander beat Mackinnon in this very poll during the summer. It hasn't changed that much since then.
Dont think theres a single thing Nylander does better than Mackinnon. This isn't close at all.
these are comments people come up with when they don't really know what they're talking about I supposeNylander is just another overhyped Leaf, he isn't anywhere near Mackinnon.
Nah. You have to use the same criteria to judge Nylander as you do MacK. In which case Nylander is failing horribly.Probably depends on who you ask.. If it's me then yes. We are also through less than half a season so a lot of things can change. I still expect him to improve his pts total from last season. That would make him more consistent with a lot less seasons played. It's really too early to tell with who ends up best. But if I was a betting man I'd put my money on Willy.
It's amusing watching someone try to claim recency bias in favor of MacKinnon.The recency bias is strong in this one! Mac having the better season so far but has only lived up to his hype his rookie season. I'll take Willy until Mac proves consistency. Suggesting Matthews is the better comparable is laughable imo.
