aside from gavin mckenna, who else do you want to see play with mack at worlds now that bedard and horvat are out and sid and mcdavid are likely hiding a dozen injuries theyāll need to rest instead?
depends if iām choosing purely by skill or with my loins, because obviously if i can have anyone to round out macklinās dream team, iād pack it full of as many of the top canadian scorers as possible and watch them drag home gold
for skill AND shipping purposes, i want porter martone if the flyers get knocked out because mack was in love with him the last time they played at the u-18s together when porter was still scrawny and hadnāt grown into himself. heās packed on at least thirty pounds of muscle since and is pretty much already set to be a flyers legend, so theyād be hot and electric as hell together. add in wyharls now that theyāre out of the playoffs. bouch, willy. mitch if the golden knights are eliminated. hags and raddysh if tampa are. geekie if boston, etc. (i am aware most of them will probably pass on the invitation, but let me dream, okay??)
purely for shipping, i want kj, mackās childhood crush turned summer fling he feels lucky enough to skate with in vancouver every year now. matthew wood because of the last time mack was caught wearing his jersey in public. fants, savvy, even dougie hamilton if mack wants to use his wiles to get dougie to come to san jose. mis and dickie if the team canada stiffs are fun enough
honestly though, iām open to whatever roster they end up putting out because iām just excited to watch mack play hockey again and i know mack will end up being obsessed over by everyone no matter what. no one can resist that cute canadian charm
