sportsJul 29, 202617257

San Jose Sharks General Manager Mike Grier announced the club signed forward Macklin Celebrini to a five-year contract extension worth $18.8 million average annual value. Celebrini, 20, finished fourth in the NHL with 115 points, tied for fourth with 45 goals and was seventh with 70 assists in the regular season, and set Sharks single-season marks with 82 even-strength points and 37 even-strength goals. Grier called Celebrini one of the premier players in the world and said the team views him as the centerpiece of its core, while owner Hasso Plattner was thanked for providing financial resources. Celebrini said he was “couldn’t be happier” and expressed commitment to helping bring a Stanley Cup to San Jose. Pat Brisson of CAA Sports praised Celebrini as an exceptional player and person and thanked the Sharks for their commitment. The team noted Celebrini factored into 46.2 percent of all Sharks goals, the second-best mark in the league this season and the best ever by an NHL teenager or any San Jose skater, and recorded 18 three-point efforts, tying the franchise record.

Highest-paid player in the league. Absolutely worth it, and now committed to the Sharks through 2031-32. (Big gulp when I typed those years out. Won't we will be replicants by then?) Enormous moment. And he'll be named captain soon enough. Already unofficially is.

Celebrini is worth every penny

Macklin Celebrini (5x18.8m extension with San Jose) is already performing like a #1 forward at age 19 (he turned 20 just after the Sharks season ended). Great conversion of offence into goals, generates central shots, defensively strong, draws penalties. An exceptional young player.

A good boy. Curious, do you have a chart on your site that compares the AAV of a player to their overall rating?

The San Jose Sharks & Macklin Celebrini have agreed to an extension that will kick in for the 27-28 season. He was THE player to watch out for to keep pushing north beyond the Carlsson $18M AAV. This deal is in a reasonable spot considering the market shift this offseason. #NHL

With all the big contracts this offseason, Macklin will arguably already be worth nearly 20M by the time this deal begins in 2027-28. Add on the rising cap and Celebrini is projected to be worth ~23.5M throughout this 5 year extension. 📊 Data & Viz: lb-hockey.com
