I have horrible opinions, lack of options probably had something to do with it lol

Mack this season but I’d rather have makar

 

[Puckstop40]

MacK. I believe he will still be better going forward as well for the next few seasons.

 

[tabness]

Makar had an amazing showing in the playoffs for sure, but people were too quick to move off MacKinnon in general and I think this season proved how he's the team's engine in many ways. Funny thing is, I think MacKinnon could be even better if he wasn't so individualistic at times.

 

[McJedi]

It’s makar and it’s not even close actually. Makar is excellent in every aspect of hockey. Guys like McDavid, Mack, Drai are only good defensively when they put in the effort and focus they often don’t. They each put so much effort into offense, because it’s harder to score than anything else.. they don’t have the legs or mental will power to properly defend. But there are plenty of times those guys puck watch and don’t even body check when the other team has the puck.

Makar gets no such luxury.

I just liked Rants more during the Cup run tbh.

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

Both easily top 10 players in the NHL imo, i’d choose Makar personally but I can’t imagine going wrong here. Total coin flip, great poll

 

[Video Nasty]

Didn’t take long for Makar’s stock around these parts as #1 or #2 in the world to drop.

Still Makar for me.

 

[authentic]

MacKinnon is better, now and going forward until he declines.

Wow, way to overrate Makar here.

Rantanen is the defensive catalyst of the line and the anchor of the PP evident by more primary points and fewer shot attempts. That being said Rantanen’s down year defensively throws a wrench into his argument. I think MacKinnon has pulled ahead but I would certainly consider them close for those reasons. They also have similar xGF impacts and it is theoretically not easy to outscore players who shoot & carry the puck much more than you.
