Finally discovered McDavid ain’t the best anymore eh?

MacKinnon on the Oilers wouldn't be in the conversation for top 3 rn. McDavid on the Avs by Rantanen and Landeskog is the best player since Mario Lemieux

This is a bruh moment.

Don't get me wrong, Mack is very good. But connor is on a league of his own.

Is arguable who is a better player all around...

MacKinnon's 3 best seasons: 11.7 WAR
McDavid's 3 worst seasons: 12.4 WAR

Got a ways to go before he hits McDavid's floor
And btw, WAR includes both offense and defense

Now add playoff WAR

I'll be honest, even if they had the same cap hit I would keep Mackinnon over mcdavid

I have no idea how to calculate WAR in the playoffs (I don't have that available) but I got some playoff charts this season to show you

McDavid's playoffs: https://ibb.co/ssRnjqX
MacKinnon's playoffs: https://ibb.co/MfGrH2f

Everyone thinks McDavid was awful in the playoffs, which is untrue. He had 9 points in 4 games, while putting up the same defensive numbers as MacK. It's not McDavid's fault that the Oilers sucked.

I think the list of things MacKinnon does that McDavid doesn’t is longer than the list of things McDavid does that MacKinnon doesn’t.

I think MacKinnons size and strength, ability to play physical and lay a hit is a whole dimension that McDavid is missing.

McDavid is better but McKinnon is more valuable (aka contract)
