NATHAN MacKINNON - Center - 24 - $6.30MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
After enduring questions about whether or not he was a disappointment with two straight low-50's point seasons, Nate MacKinnon finally broke out and has had two near-100 point seasons in a row, cementing himself as one of the NHL's elite offensive centers. MacKinnon is one of the best skaters in the league, pairing speed that ranks near the top of the NHL with elite playmaking vision, puck skills, and a lethal shot. He finally found out how to utilize his speed to actually create time and space with the puck rather than just burn past his opponents, and as a result he has been able to produce points unlike anything Colorado has seen since the days of Joe Sakic. MacKinnon is the engine behind Colorado's first line, a first line that's the best in the NHL offensively, and at a cap hit of only $6.3MM until 2023-2024 he's one of the best contract values in hockey. His defense is still improving, and while he's not a shutdown center he's no defensive liability and can hold his own in his own end thanks to his relentless motor and high end hockey IQ. MacKinnon is an elite 1C and should be competing for Hart trophies for years to come.
