F Macklin Celebrini - No longer in college. Playing for Sharks (2024, 1st, SJS)

[coooldude]

Macklin's dad talking about him. Pretty interesting - guy is definitely impressive. Can't hurt to have a world class trainer in the family, I know there was an article last year about Macklin's shoulder recovery and working with Rick that was also interesting.

Yup, as I mentioned, Mack has had pretty much the ideal development.

It goes beyond “my dad is involved in professional athletics”. We’ve seen “hockey sons” burn out. His dad has worked with and for professional organizations across a variety of sports and organizations. It’s this kind of multi-faceted exposure and knowledge that is showing through in the way Mack speaks and trains and approaches expectations and the paths that have been curated for his development - he hasn’t been pounded his whole life with simply “hockey culture”.

It's fresh air after watching Montreal and Detroit fans hate my team here 24/7. By the way, congratulations again

It’s got nothing to do with a rivalry or hate of Chicago for any reason other than the fact that the organization was not appropriately punished for covering up sexual assault. I have no ill will towards the fans at all. I would feel the same if it was any other team, too.

Can someone tell me what's going on with his ankles here? They look rough as hell. is that swelling from lace bite?

His Dad said he flew directly from Hungary to this event at the behest of the NHL. If he just got off a long flight, it might just be a little bit of swelling from sitting for 8-10 hours. Or a weird camera angle/lighting.

I think it is something the youth of today are in to. I am too old to know.

I was thinking maybe he had leg extensions to make him taller and more appealing to scouts

How many points for his first season in the NHL?

How many points for his first season in the NHL?

56

56

Oddly specific and also great guess.

56 if next year ... 65 if he goes back to BU for a year.

How many points for his first season in the NHL?

Depends if he is in the NHL next season or the following. That Sharks team is terrible, but I think he will do really well at chance generation. 20-40 is probably my baseline, but I think he will have surprisingly solid xGF stats.

56 if next year ... 65 if he goes back to BU for a year.

I also think he can get more if the Sharks PP produces well and then his linemates finish on chances. Could be less than 56 if the Sharks' offense is even more putrid than I expect.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I think he can outproduce Granlund

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'll say about 45 points if he plays a full season in the NHL. None of the top 3 picks from last year reached 70 games, so it might be best to use per 82 for any prediction of his season.

I know he is still undrafted so will give him a pass for now but not sure how I feel about cheering for a "rival".

His brother is a Canuck, and they both grew up loving the Canucks through years of misery and nonsense. I think he was well within his rights to enjoy being a fan one last time. He's 17 years old, had a crazy long season, and is going through some of the most intense months of his life right now. It was nice to see him being a kid and enjoying himself.

It would be weirder if he pretended not to be the die-hard Canucks fan we know he is just because he knows where he’s getting drafted to.

definitely drafting demigod now

Oh boy…Sharks fans, brace yourself for months of Canucks fans talking about Celebrini being a Canuck in a few years.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Listening to 32 Thoughts this morning, Friedman and Marek are talking about Celebrini and if he should turn pro or not. Rare instance where I heavily prefer Friedman's opinion over Marek's. Celebrini, unless he's not ready (he is ready), should be a Shark this fall. He's already won the Hobey Baker as a 17 year old, nothing left for him to prove in the NCAA IMHO.

It was an interesting conversation. It seems like the "but who will [talented high draft pick] play with" talking point is louder than it's ever been.

Funny how no one was saying that about Bedard last year even though the Hawks forward group was even more of a wasteland than the Sharks next year.

The only reservations that I would have about him in the NHL are injuries and if you think he needs more strength and mass to play his game effectively. He battles all over the ice and is very physical, reminiscent of rookie Ovechkin. I would not want to discourage him from playing that same way, but doing that against men requires a lot of strength that may take more time to develop.
