Despite facing injuries and limited playtime, Macklin Celebrini has shown remarkable potential, earning accolades like NHL Rookie of the Month and proving himself as an elite player.
Celebrini, with 14 points in just 15 games, is rapidly proving that his offensive skills might have been underrated, while maintaining a strong 200-foot game.
While Connor Bedard appears to be a lock for Team Canada in 2026, Celebrini's all-around abilities and potential for defensive contributions make him a worthy candidate.
The return of international hockey through events like the Four Nations offers an exciting opportunity for emerging talents like Celebrini and Bedard to showcase their abilities.
