The more I think about it, the more MacKinnon makes the most sense, especially if HC doesn't want the other teammate's name to get out there. He's something of a HC golden boy, even compared to other names like Schenn or O'Reilly (other guys that Barrie is close to). So I get why they'd want to downplay or hide his role.

And it just really fits their Nate and Tyson brand tbh. They're kind of silly idiots. I think Nate makes Tyson act younger than he is; I always forget he's 25. He's older than Landeskog.
