Confirmed with Link: Celebrate!! Celebrini signed ELC 3 years x $975k ($4.475m AAV with bonuses)

[NewMuzu24]

I don’t understand the hatred towards fanatics jerseys. Would someone please explain this to me?

Anything I have bought from Fanatics is straight garbage. And I didn’t learn my lesson the first time.

I won’t speak for others. But I’ll never buy a Fanatics product again.

Horrible quality that usually has obvious issues. Off centered things, poor seam work, etc

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

No. This all started because there was a rumor the Celebrinis had a poor experience with the Junior Sharks when Macklin was playing there. And because of those supposed issues, Rick didn't want Macklin to sign with the Sharks.

All jokes aside, and I'll absolutely cherish however long he's a Shark, but I do think he ends up going to Vancouver by the time he's 30 and this is just another minor reason why lol.

Can you not return it? Or if you buy in the pro shop you can see it before you buy it.

I find this whole “he’s going to Vancouver” thing strange tbh and thought it was only Canuck fans spewing this rhetoric. Other than Tavares, most of these guys have moved on from playing with their hometown teams by the time they hit 30. He will have been with the Sharks for 12 years by then and hopefully competing and winning slot for at least half of that time.

How many players actually end up going to their hometown teams after fans talk about how much it's fate and whatever? Besides Tavares?

By the time he hits 30, he'll have full realization that it's a business and that there are plenty of considerations besides playing for the team you rooted for as a kid. Plus, presumably he'll have built a lot of equity here that will hopefully be good equity if the team succeeds.

But now that I don't have to read people talking about how he won't play for San Jose because of the junior Sharks and how he's going back to Boston College anymore, I suppose this is the only dumb narrative left for the next many years.

Heard all the same stuff about Steph Curry and Charlotte for years. He's running out of time to live that imagined fantasy.

Notoriously bad quality in everything they produce. Material wise and they fumble random details on jerseys. Paying $175 for a jersey made with the worst materials and underpaid labor is brutal. The NHL has been running lots of PR stuff to say it's being manufactured in Quebec, but that could just be the authentic ones for all we know. Anyways soft chance they're fine and we will find out soon haha thanks to people buying em first

Chances are that shirt lasts through more runs in the washing machine than your average Fanatics T.

 

[Hangemhigh]

I was watching that pre-draft video about the Celebrini family and they were super tiptoe-ing around the poor experience like they didn't want to talk all the shit they wanted to lol

I heard it from his cousin's brother's uncle coworker that they didn't like the fact the goaltending was lousy, the defense really poor, and there was a distinct lack of quality RHD. Also, some parent kept on bringing green oranges that were not sweet during intermission.

What they said even the hockey guy bags on their quality and he’s the nicest hockey guy on YouTube

As much as San Jose has struggled to attract premier free agents we have done really well with home grown talent when it comes to retention

Apparently if you ask the message boards Tavares because he wore maple leaf PJs as a kid is the gold standard of players going to their child hood franchise not money

Well California taxes are a huge deterrent then of course SJ area is not exactly cheap

If there was one NHL market that doesn’t compare favorably to San Jose for cost of living and taxes it’s Vancouver. So I guess we got that going for us From what I hear from friends in the area Vancouver real estate is even more bananas than the Bay Area.

I would say it is actually a lot less then players that grew up wearing sharks gear as a kid.

And others have moved back to the area.

It's not a hockey mecca or anything but it's got some things

Well Vancouver is a beautiful city on the ocean that’s clean vs California where poo and needles in the Bay Area is kind of a common thing. PS I’ve been to both before people go ballistic

Only visited Vancouver once and loved it. Would love to plan a vacation and get tickets to see a Sharks game there.

Vancouver has a ton of poverty too just depends where you go

Also been to both. Vancouver is lovely. Is Vancouver really on the ocean?

No. It's just a really large lake. If anyone tells you it's the Pacific ocean they're lying

You make it sound like the Bay Area doesn't want poo and needles everywhere.

Your info on Vancouver might be a bit outdated, its got a lot of the same issues as Portland and the Cali cities now.
