Can I just say, I like TSN opening videos for the draft more than Sportsnet
Wow, some people here have such excellent hindsight. Like, 20/10.
The Avs have had a chance to acquire Drouin from TB since last year. I may not be an official NHL scout, but I think I'm the only one intelligent enough to realize why MacKinnon and Drouin work so well together. The whole is greater than the sum of all its parts. Here's why they work together and why the Avs MUST get Drouin if they expect MacKinnon to come anywhere close to living up to the expectations they had. MacKinnon is a shoot-first centerman (as they said here). MacKinnon has a great shot, release, and his explosive speed and strength helps him drive to the net. Drouin, even though he is a winger, is a gifted playmaker. He can make plays and feed MacKinnon all day. Drouin instantly makes MacKinnon nearly twice as better. Drouin is a "supercharger" and MacKinnon is the "engine". Put them together and now you've got a turbocharged/supercharged vehicle. Do you understand this? Usually it's the centerman who is the playmaker and sets up wingers. But in this case, the opposite also works well (a gifted playmaking winger setting up a shooting center). That's why Drouin and MacKinnon instantly make each other twice as good. The problem with the Avs scouting is they are using or trying to use MacKinnon like a playing making center, and that's why it's not working out. MacKinnon doesn't really have the ability to make his wingers better. That's why he hasn't had much success no matter who he plays with. What MacKinnon's strength is, is being the recipient of a great playmaking winger, and he can drive the net with his explosive speed and great release to score goals. MacKinnon is a good passer, and will also feed Drouin plenty of goals, but they are a unique duo that works anti-flow of the typical passing center – goal scoring winger. Trust me. That's why they dominated in the Q together. That's why they won the Championship. That's why they ended up going 1 and 3 at the draft. If you are the Avs and you want to rebuild properly, you need to learn how to put pieces together. You've got a tremendous engine and supercharger that fits perfectly for that engine. What hell are you waiting for?
Love Mckinnon,a real horse!!,,and really delivers,,,Electric player!!
And best skater iv ever seen ,very explosive speed
Whats an alaxander bark off fukoff
Canadians are 1
This season, Mac has killed it. After DUCHENNE left, he has just torn it up.
Barkov was such a bust…
Yep Barkov is the best
17:03 Ville Nieminen perkele
Just look how good Barkov is now…
21:08 lol not anymore
Drouin at 3 lol he wouldn't be at 3 in redraft today
Panthers actually made a good pick for once
Looking back at this Tampa fucked up a bit Drouin turned into Sergachev but come on… Seth Jones and Hedman could’ve been linemates!!
Look at MacKinnon now. What an incredible pick by the Avs.
Are they chanting Crosby's better?
Drouin was supposed to be the most skilled in the draft.. Look how that turned out.. and He is small. Nathan mckannon is a franchise player…
Y’all talking about Barkov but what about mackinnon
Bob MacKenzie is a genius
“passing up on seth jones might be questioned” barkov is an out of this world player then they got ekblad the next year who is a better player than jones
And now Barkov is one of the best centres in the whole league
Sasha fart face Barkov
Seth Jones was so overrated
Barkov just signed an 8 year 80 Million dollar extension to stay in Florida until he’s 34. He’s gonna be the best panther ever. Incredible
Watching this in 2021 as a habs fan i really hope this is the season Drouin can break out i think it may be his last chance.
So beautiful that we took Barkov
The day the Florida Panthers' fortunes changed forever
Drouin 3rd … at least they got sergachev for him. Poor MTL
I’m here after they just won the Stanley cup 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Edit: not enough 🔥🔥🔥
Who is barkov , mckinnon just won the cup. Drouin always injured lol
Lmao « i love your energy » credit to bettman to deal with that
Speaking as a AVS fan. MacKinnon with over 600 career points and over 250 career goals so far, I think the AVS did very well indeed.
Kid at 5:10 back there picking his nose
Interesting seeing the Drouin pick now. Some scouts thought he was the best player in the draft. Skating and strength was the concern for him….they questioned if he can translate against men…the answer turned out to be not really. He had a couple decent years but he really busted
it is amazing the charlatan known as Pierre McGuire is given all of these positions to give his opinion after his actions with the Hartford Whalers. No one should have to listen to his nonsense
Imagine the defense depth of tampa had jones Herman and serg
MacKinnon was definitely worth the number one pick
What are the fans chanting before the Avs pick?
So funny to hear all the idiots chant "Marty's better". Umm…no. See the 2001 cup finals. Thanks
