I thought this might deserve it's own thread....
I think some people really underestimating how good MacKinnon is gonna be and I'll tell you why...
I live in LA and I've gone to few places like stores or restaurants etc... and talking to random people at this places about sports, there were few times where I was asked what sport and teams I follow, I said hockey and Avalanche, and this people while not necessarily hockey fans, but just with general knowledge of sports knew who MacKinnon was.
They didn't know who Duchene or Varly, EJ etc are, but they said to me.."you guys have that new MacKinnon kid who's gonna be really good"
I mean that's like none hockey fans knowing who Crosby or "the next big thing" in particular sport is.
That really made me feel even better about the kid. He really is gonna be special.
