Just ridiculous.
When was the last time a team had the best players at their position on the same team. Mackinnon is the best center in the the league, and Makar is the best defenceman in the league.

Maybe Kucherov and Hedman at some point in the last 5 years...probably the closest.
But best Center and best Dman in the league...
McDavid...nope
Crosby...nope
Lemieux...don't think so
Gretzky...only if you consider Coffey the best dman in the league at the time as they were the only guys to win Hart and Norris for the same team in the same season since 1980.
In terms of in the last 30 years it might only be the Red Wings teams...were Fedorov/Yzerman + Lindstrom the closest to best center in the league + best dman.
