Compare Joe Thornton’s 1st 5 seasons to Celebrini’s rookie season. Took him until his 4 season to nearly hit PPG.

"Shut up have you ever played the game? I'd have my (rooster) out."But but Celebrini might never reach Jumbo Joe’s level.

Celebrini firmly back in the race with 5 pointer. Not sure it’s enough but it makes it much closer.

I think if he finishes out with 5 pt games that could work. lol

...one good rookie season and you annointed him ahead of 3 Hall of Famers...that is ridiculous, any way you slice it...
Not every player develops the same lol. Typically the big guys take longer and a completely different era. Silly.

Ofc Leo is going to be better than Celebrini right? Just needs time? And he isn’t that small. 5’11 3/4 with no shoes. Not big but he isn’t 5’9 or something.

Maybe for someone that watches 10 shark games a decade....one good rookie season and you annointed him ahead of 3 Hall of Famers...that is ridiculous, any way you slice it...
Many of us have been around and seen everything, what he's saying isn't wrong

i don't think it's that crazy to say that Celebrini has the potential to break Thornton's franchise records tbh.

It means Celebrini’s calibre of potential is certainly enough to be better than Joe.
…..relax dude. I was commenting on you comparing Celebrini to Joe Thornton. You can go through every post I’ve made and you won’t find any Celebrini hate.
I didn’t call him small. Joe Thornton was significantly bigger and bigger players take longer to develop. Nowhere did I insult Celebrini.

we've never had a rookie this good, especially an 18 year old kid.
haters in shambles

I’d say celebrini takes the lead but he never lost it
I don’t think people being skeptical about a rookie matching the 14th overall player in NHL points all time is being a hater lol.
...I've been watching hockey for almost 50 years and have seen hundreds of Sharks games, so the "I've seen it all" doesn't really work...Celebrini is a phenomenal kid, but to already annoint him ahead of 3 Hall of Famers is a ridiculous take...period...it's like the few Habs fans here already annointing Hutson over guys like Chelios...
...he certainly has POTENTIAL, but it's far too early to crown him "The Greatest San Jose Shark Ever"...that's a bit much...
Michkov with another stinker tonight:
1 point, -1, and 2 giveaways in an 8-5 win. Just terrible. I guess Torts wasn’t the problem after all.
Meanwhile, Celebrini with a 5 point night to firmly take hold of 2nd place. Amazing performance tonight.
I’d have Michkov below Wolf at this point as well in terms of positive impact. The other rookies are leaving Michkov in their dust at this point. Not surprising; he looks slow, tired, and frustrated out there lately.

It's not just the offensive that's impressive though, those that watch him see how good he is overall
