The San Jose Sharks are betting big on Macklin Celebrini, the 18-year-old phenom who just signed a record five-year, $94M deal after a 115-point rookie season. Can he sustain that elite production and finally push the Sharks into the playoffs for the first time since 2019? The team’s young core—including Will Smith and Collin Graf—along with three recent first-round picks, is seen as the future, but timelines remain uncertain. On defense, veterans Darnell Nurse and Jacob Trouba aim to stabilize a leaky blue line that surrendered over 3.5 goals per game last year, giving prospects room to grow. With all these pieces in play, the question is whether execution and development can turn this roster into a true contender—or if it’s still too early to see results.
