i'd take mackinnon over hall in an instant.
You'd take MacKinnon over Hall, but not MacKinnon over Seguin?
Hall had, what, 4 points less this season than Seguin?
He's sporting a career 0.37 PPG over and 0.91 PPG over 246 games. Right now, he's a perennial 30 goal, 75 point player on EDMONTON.
This speaks to the relative underratedness of Taylor Hall over the relative overrating of Tyler Seguin.
I'd be hard pressed to take either Hall or Seguin over MacKinnon. He's had an arguably more impressive rookie season than either of them did, and he's almost 8 months younger than Seguin relative to his rookie season, and almost a year relative to Hall's.
