The San Jose Sharks have signed Macklin Celebrini to his entry-level contract!
Celebrini is the franchise's first No. 1 pick in history. The Boston University product told reporters that he would decide whether to sign or not "shortly after development camp."
The franchise centerman took one day after camp to decide and will now turn pro.
"Macklin is not only a special player on the ice, but he is a poised, confident and intelligent young man off of it," Sharks GM Mike Grier said in a statement. "His combination of skills and hockey sense is rare, and we are extremely confident that he is ready to make the transition to being a full time NHL player. We could not be more excited to have Macklin locked in to formally join the Sharks organization for the 2024-25 season."
The Sharks might have their top two centermen in Celebrini and Will Smith for the foreseeable future. San Jose signed its top prospects this summer in the hopes of turning its franchise around and beginning its trek up the standings.
