Sharks lock up Macklin Celebrini through 2032 -
Today, the San Jose Sharks took care of arguably one of the team’s most important pieces of business this offseason, especially in this offer sheet era. General Manager Mike Grier announced this morning that Macklin Celebrini agreed to a new, five-year contract that will keep the young forward with the team through the 2031-32 season. The deal will make Celebrini the highest-paid player in the league (for now) and carries a cap hit of $18.8 million per season when it goes into effect in 2027-28. The Sharks only lock Celebrini up for one year of his unrestricted free agency; however, San Jose gets a steal in the sense that it is not a max deal, which means it’s less than 20% of the salary cap. During his media availability this afternoon, Grier was clear that Celebrini was well worth every penny of that max deal and if that was what the forward had asked for, it was likely that he would have received it. “With what he’s done in his first c
