Mackinnon is amazing. Guy gets a scoring chance almost every goddamn shift.

He's pushing McJesus with his play of late for that "best player in the NHL" title.

He wen't from being propped up but Drouin to being propped up by Rantanen

Agreed.

And he can't handle the competition, look how he turtled when Duchene was over there.

Man, his whole saga is getting a little sad.

Who would have thought he'd make Nashville a bad team?

He was putting up 50 points seasons when McJesus was scoring 100. MacKinon is good but he would be a 60 point guy whitout his current wingers.

No I'm right.

Well they can extend him if he does the job. I'm sure Allen knows he won't get that kind of money anymore, Halak makes 2,75
- Fredo

Well Allen is 5 years younger.

Let's say he takes a pay cut down to 3.5M instead of 4.5M. That's still 14M committed to G. As a Bruins fan I support this decision.

But he's going to have the same role in the future

Different players. Just depends on which style you prefer.

Are we still kidding here Fred or....?

- bixll

I prefer the type of players who didn't put 63, 38, 52, 53 seasons before Rantanen showed up when I award my best player in the world award

Allen also had significantly better numbers last year than Halak did including playoffs. At least you still have Rask...oh wait

- Fredo

Maybe.

He has better options than Halak even if only because of his age.

Low blow.

(but well played)

- Fredo

If we're making dumb arguments, McJesus didn't even lead his own team in scoring this year

That's fine.

- Takemedrunkimhome

I just don't think the best player in the world should be putting up Jo Drouin numbers unless he has Rantanen

Sure - but it's not like the ONE player ahead of him is a plug, right?

That player would put Mackinnon 2nd on his team as well.

I see you don't stay up late to watch the Avs play.
