Transaction
The Sharks center locks in a long-term deal on the heels of a 115-point rookie season.
Macklin Celebrini signed a five-year, $94 million extension with the San Jose Sharks, keeping the 19-year-old center through the 2031-32 season. The deal replaces the final year of his entry-level contract and ranks as the NHL's richest.
Celebrini posted 45-70-115 across 82 games in his rookie season, a 2.25-point-per-game pace. The extension ties him to San Jose for the bulk of his prime years and signals the franchise's commitment to building around its first-overall pick from 2024.
