Summary
Macklin Celebrini just locked himself into San Jose Sharks history with a five-year, $94 million extension, set to make him the NHL’s highest-paid player starting in 2027–28 at an AAV of $18.8 million. Already a phenom at just 20, Celebrini shattered Joe Thornton’s franchise record with 115 points last season, finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting, and earned top forward honors at the 2026 World Championships. Sharks GM Mike Grier called him one of the world’s premier players and emphasized the deal’s role in building San Jose’s future core. Celebrini, set to become a UFA at 26, praised the organization’s faith in him and his readiness to lead the charge for a Stanley Cup. The negotiation was praised as respectful, with flexibility from Celebrini’s camp helping the Sharks plan their roster around him — all thanks to Hasso Plattner’s commitment to building a championship-caliber team.
