Brayden Olafson
QMJHL Regional Scout
MacKinnon is an extremely composed and technically skilled player on the blueline. He skates very well with his head up and is constantly scanning for a pass from the back end. If he isn't able to find a good outlet after a thorough scan, he is entirely capable of skating the puck up through traffic and gaining the offensive zone. Additionally, he is very good at evading pressure while he scans, and can effectively spin out, leveraging his superior technical skating ability to buy time when he requires it, which will undoubtedly be a useful skill in helping him transition to the next level. As the play develops, Mackinnon can regularly chip in further into the transition by being one of the few players at his age who can consistently collect the puck when his body is in an awkward or imperfect position to do so. He demonstrates great gap control and angled attackers to the outside very well. If opponents are able to cut in on him, he effectively tracks them and stays square to their body, committing to a block if it is required.
