San Jose Sharks just locked down 20-year-old phenom Macklin Celebrini with a jaw-dropping 94-million-dollar, five-year deal—making him the NHL’s highest-paid player when it kicks in. Drafted in 2024 at just 17, Celebrini dominated college hockey at BU, won the Hobey Baker Award, and already turned the Sharks’ fortunes around in his rookie season, adding 19 wins and 34 points. He capped off his breakout year by leading Canada to a silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics with 10 points in 10 games. This contract is a bold statement: the Sharks are betting big on Celebrini as their franchise cornerstone and are all-in on building a Stanley Cup contender around him.
