I am going to buy a MacKinnon Jersey. Do you think he will change his jersey number for #22 this year ?
Thanks
No, he's sticking with 29. He just did a bunch of promotional stuff wearing his jersey.

You know I think we're all trying not to get too carried away with our expectations, but given how young he was last year, and how quick of a learner he is, maybe he does make a jump to elite numbers early in his career like Stamkos.
A lot of it will come down to chemistry on his line. Landy is basically a lock as his winger spending most of last year on his line, and never really having great chemistry with Duchene.
Nate needs a puck distributor on his line though and while Landy is a little underrated in that department, it's not really his game. That's why chambers essentially making up that Iggy will be the RWer is a little silly, because that's not really his game either.
Tanguay is the perfect fit. He needs a guy that can find him with a tape to tape pass in flight in the neutral zone, or a cross ice in the zone, or pass from down low to him as he darts into a hole.
If that line clicks and they stay healthy, maybe he surprises even us. Given his off season the writing certainly is on the wall a bit.

Fantastic article on MacKinnon. He talks a lot about summer training.

Interesting chart about players acceleration and top speed (from Freidman's 30 thoughts). Tavares sure has improved a lot. I wonder what Duchene clocks in at.
Anyone catch Scott Hastings calling MacKinnon a brat on the radio today? I read about it on the twittersphere, so it must be true.
