Yeah, that's not a good comparison. You can't just pull random stats like that and say they're similar. There are multiple factors that play into this. 

For example, Colorado is dead last in the league. Based on points the Canucks are almost 2 times better than the Avs (1.77x better to be exact.). The Canucks have scored 2.43 GPG and the Avs have scored a league low 2.02 GPG. MacKinnon has been apart of 0.36 of all Avalanche goals whereas Horvat has only been a part of 0.27 of all Canuck goals. If the Avalanche had scored the same amount of goals as the Canucks Mackinnon would be on pace for 40.32 points which would put him at 18th in overall NHL scoring - definitely a ranking where the league's elite scorers sit at. 

I'm hoping you didn't mean to compare them directly, but this is just not even close in my mind and couldn't leave it alone.

@Tigs If ifs and buts were honey and nuts we'd all have a good Christmas. If MacKinnon is that elite, shouldn't he be driving the offense more?
