John Tavares on Nathan MacKinnon’s ascension to the top point producer in the league:
Whether it is this year or the accolades he earned last year and what he has become in the game, he has just seemed to find something a number of years ago that has allowed him to take off, become one of the best players of the world, and just be so dynamic and so hard to play against and difficult to defend. He is one of the toughest challenges you are going to face in the game.
From being around him a little bit and getting to know him, you see how hard he works and how diligent he is about his preparation and craft with who great he wants to be.
