Connor McDavid is, rightfully so, always atop any list when ranking NHL players. Nathan MacKinnon has an opportunity to jump him.
Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche might be a year older than Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, but you almost feel like MacKinnon gets the “younger sibling” treatment when comparing the two. Look up any “best of the NHL” list and you will always, I mean always, see Connor McDavid’s name at the top.
