The San Jose Sharks just made NHL history by locking down Macklin Celebrini with a record-breaking five-year extension that will make him the highest-paid player in league history — and they’re betting everything on him to lead them to a Stanley Cup. Already a superstar at just 19, Celebrini’s elite talent and leadership have convinced the team to commit $18.5 million annually to his future, even though he’s not done with his entry-level deal. While GM and agent praise his character and potential, the move raises serious cap concerns and leaves the door open for even bigger contracts down the road. This is a bold, high-stakes gamble — and Sharks fans are already feeling the excitement. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
