Macklin Celebrini is already rewriting the script for young stars with the San Jose Sharks, proving his impact in just two seasons. As the third player to wear number 71, he’s arguably the most influential. Now, contract talks are heating up—some say a deal similar to Erik Karlsson’s could be team-friendly, freeing up cap space to build a championship contender. While Celebrini holds the leverage, taking a slightly smaller deal might help San Jose around him and key players like Will Smith. Analysts project a five-year, $16–16.5M deal, placing him between Karlsson and Bedard. The choice between long-term security and a short-term bridge contract could shape his legacy—and his next payday.
