He may be the most valuable asset in the nhl right now when taking into account age, skill, position and contract
Ehhhh. Think McDavid still holds that title. And Mackinnon still needs to keep this up over an entire season, and have it carry into next season before I'd be ready to anoint him as truly elite.
That said, if he finishes this year at ~90 points, and once again is at ~45-50 points through the midway point of next year...
Yeah, he could be in the conversation for most valuable player in the league. Signed for 5 more years at just 6.3M while his comparables are making double or more and also still only 22 years old.
