Here's a bold idea, why not trade for Sidney??

I f***ing LOVE that Macklin is being adopted by Crosby. I mean, that level of education for someone like Mack is priceless. I love seeing it so much.

After Rick tried to sabotage Macklin's desired career path in San Jose with his unbridled hatred of the Sharks, Mack needs a new dad anyway.

The moment Crosby announced he was going, this was inevitable. Mack’s desire to learn and the way Crosby is seen as a mentor by practically all of team Canada (including McDavid and Mackinnon) meant that he was always going to pull the 18 year old aside. Crosby also knows he can be a difference maker in his final (it is, right?) gold medal run.

So f***ing good for his development. Smith’s experience of playing up a lineup on a good team with NHL talent is also a pretty good experience, albeit not the same. Curious what line he ends up on. Must be an interesting dynamic for him and Warso. Smith is likely the slowest, worst defensive forward and currently the softest, but also among the top 6 most talented (Thompson, Cooley, Keller, Beniers, Smith, Garland/Gauthier).

Werenski, Beniers, Keller, and Cooley are a couple real good guys to have in that locker room.

When I said Bedard doesn’t show the leadership and drive to lead a team to a cup, this is part of what I was referring to. Celebrini has a drive to be better without the ego and will learn from anyone. Bedard wants to “start his offseason training early” which is no doubt code for leave me alone I want a break to sit on a beach somewhere.

I think people are being a little hard on Bedard. He’s a kid, he had a rough season, maybe for his mental health it was better to work one on one with coaches and mentors and teachers, get bigger, stronger, etc. than to go play more hockey?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d take Mack any day over him, but I don’t think this decision is particularly egregious.

Canada is going to wreck everyone.

Canada is going to wreck everyone.

Celebrini is going to wreck everyone, canada is going to go undefeated, celebrini is going to score 27 goals and be the only player to record a point for canada.

Timo!

 

[mogambomoroo]

It's crazy that no matter how far they go with Team Canada, Celebrini will be playing with Sidney Crosby/MacKinnon with a big chance at gold medal and will still be 18 years old when the tournament is done. What a beauty of player we have.

Tournament officially begins today, appears Celebrini will start on the top line on Crosby’s wing

I think Smith can actually learn a good bit from Cooley. Cooley did a year of college then put up almost identical numbers to Smith in his first NHL season and then had a really great year this year. Even if it's just tips/tricks on continuing to adjust to the NHL him and Keller will be great mentors on USA.

This is such an amazing experience for him, so glad he's there

Forcing me to watch Cutter Gauthier play with Will... Ryan Warsofsky might be evil.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Being forced to watch Cutter Gauthier score a goal is my villain origin story.

 

[Juxtaposer]

The difference between Will Smith at the World's last year and this year is frankly unbelievable. So much faster, stronger, defensively sound, confident. Like I'm shocked this is the same player.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Gauthier looking way better than Smith every game I see. Man, if only there could be do-overs.

Seems like heaps of credit should be thrown Warsofsky's (And his entire staff) way. Let's stash this comment the next time people want to run him out of town.

Huh? When did we have the option of getting Gauthier?
