When I was watching Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon on Sunday night during Team North America’s route of Team Finland, I was struck by how the analysts were discussing him.
Indeed, the one quote that stood out to me the most was a comment by either Darren Pang, or John Buccigross — both were covering the game. They were talking about MacKinnon all night because of his stellar play, but the comment that stood out to me was:
Nathan MacKinnon entered the league as an offensive minded center, but he may leave the league as a prototypical power winger.
