During Sportsnet's "Take Your Pick" segment on Wednesday Night Hockey, analysts discussed potential linemates for Connor McDavid at the 4 Nations Face-Off. NHL analyst Sam Cosentino named Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner as one of his picks.
Cosentino also highlighted McDavid’s childhood connection with Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett through the Toronto Marlies and Greater Toronto Hockey League. He also praised Marner’s playmaking skills, emphasizing the versatility he would add to the line.
"I'm going Sam Bennett, for sure, because of the childhood connection back to the Toronto Marlies and the Greater Toronto Hockey League." Cosentino said, "And, I'm going Mitch Marner, just add a little bit of play making, so somewhat along the same lines as you, Luke, but I like Bennett with a little grid up there on that line as well."
