The numbers show that the Colorado Avalanche's biggest star has fared much better with Martin Necas than longtime teammate Mikko Rantanen.
Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon was the player most affected by the Mikko Rantanen trade. The Finnish star had been MacKinnon’s linemate, seemingly forever. Once Rantanen left, MacKinnon was bereft of a friend and familiar target.
However, the arrival of Martin Necas has been very good for MacKinnon.
