I said this last year and it's becoming even more apparent. Nathan MacKinnon is the only player in the NHL with the pure ability to be on McDavid's level. When you combine size, speed and skill there's nobody like him.
However, with that said, I still think there is a distinct gap between the two that is not likely to ever be closed. McDavid has been historically consistent whereas MacKinnon has taken 6 years in the NHL to finally get his game up to a consistent level, and even then he's still below McDavid.
