The San Jose Sharks just locked up superstar rookie Macklin Celebrini with a five-year, $8M+ deal — a bold move to secure Canada’s top Olympic scorer and elite young talent before his value explodes. With rookie contracts soaring (Connor Bedard’s $15M deal just set the bar), this signing signals a new era where teams pay premium prices for phenoms. GM Mike Greer dodged future chaos by locking him in now — 31 teams would’ve chased him otherwise. This isn’t just a contract; it’s a foundation for the Sharks’ rebuild, proving they’re serious about building a contender around generational talent.
