## Resource

Macklin Celebrini just shattered NHL history with a five-year, $94 million deal with the San Jose Sharks — averaging $18.8 million annually, making him the highest-paid player ever based on AAV. Signed early in his career, this move locks in their franchise cornerstone and avoids future bidding wars as the salary cap climbs. Analysts like Josh Yohe see it as a smart, forward-thinking contract that could age well as Celebrini matures into the league’s top talent. General manager Mike Grier’s strategy shines through: building around Celebrini with a young core poised to compete. Celebrini himself is thrilled, committed to leading San Jose to a Stanley Cup, and ready to begin the journey with his teammates.
