Will Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon ever play together?

Elliotte Friedman had an interesting note in his latest 31 Thoughts:

Every time I see a Sidney Crosby/Nathan MacKinnon commercial, I wonder if they’re going to find a way to play together some day.

Crosby and MacKinnon have long have a bond and kinship, despite an eight year age difference. They’re from the same general area in Halifax, Nova Scotia, both understand the pressure of being No. 1 overall picks in the draft, train together and hang out a ton in the off-season, whether making commercials or golfing with the Spittin Chiclets crew of other Penguin alumni in Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette (NSFW language on that link if the mentions of Whitney and Bissonnette didn’t give that away).
