Sharks REALITY of Macklin Celebrini sinks in 

"Former jr shark Macklin.." Is the new "long beach native Matt Nieto"

For years I've been the Sharks representative in Vancouver....I'm ready to see the logo and jerseys even more now!

Congrats to the sharks! Chicago fan here! Getting bedard last year added so much life to the United center! Hope it’s the same for you guys.

Just got done watching Ozzy Wiesblatt play for Milwaukee in the playoffs tonight. If he plays in training camp next season like he played tonight, he has a very, very good chance to break camp with the Sharks.

Congrats on Celebrini! Chicago fan here, saw him when he played for the Chicago Steel before he went to BU. Kid was an ABSOLUTE MENACE!!! I knew he was going to be insane from watching him. Bought a ticket to watch him play every game at home after the first time I saw him. Enjoy your new “Jonathan Toews” 2.0!! You’re gonna love him!!

Ducks had the chance twice, missed on Crosby and missed on Bedard. Congrats to the Sharks....

Few notes that brodie forgot to mention: 1. The sharks won the first overall pick's 4 digit lottery code 3 times in a row, because the league continued to try to get a code of a different team for the second overall pick, only after the 4th try they finally got another team which was Chicago. If this is not fate i don't know what else it is, the hockey gods were literally screaming, "Celebrini you going to San Jose". 2. This was the first Lottery draft since 2010 in which no team has moved up or down from their pre-draft positions per standings. 3. Macklin Celebrini isn't projected to be a player of the caliber such as McDavid or Bedard, but make no mistake, people expecting him to be the type of player that makes the same impact of players such as Matthews and Mckinnon. With no disrespect to the previous picks, but this kid is one of those golden horses you get that you build your franchise around him. 4. Sharks fans better know, Macklin has a nickname Cheetah, after his move to the bay area the Golden warriors decided to change it and call him Chester, Like Chester Cheetah, the mascot of Cheetos. They explained they call him like that because of his filthy hands is like what you get after you eat a bowl of Cheetos. 5. Rick Celebrini (his father) was interviewed today by the Golden warriors media following San Jose winning the draft lottery, you can find that newest video on the Golden state warriors' youtube channel, go check it out. *** To summarize it i'll use Elliotte friedman's words, "The sharks were half pregnant, they are now fully pregnant." That's how much difference drafting this kid does to your rebuilding and prospect pool. The the light in the tunnel seem way more closer now. Enjoy the celebration everyone, we deserve it after so much suffering.

Crazy that the San Jose Sharks won the draft lottery 3 times this year 😂 Macklin was destined to be a Shark all along.

I think you put it best. I was also prepared to be disappointed after such a disappointing season. I am so happy and it was all worth it for this!

This feeling reminds me more of when we acquired Jumbo. The hype this time around might be bigger because of his dad's connection to the Warriors. I've seen a lot of local coverage that I don't think happens without the brand of the Warriors. Either way, can't wait to see Celebrini jerseys in a packed out Shark Tank...coming soon

Thank you, Brodie! Next season is finally going to be exciting! We might be still bad, but hey, we have young core and guys who will be great eventually!

The best part is that the Sharks were able to land Will Smith at #4 and in any other draft year he likely would’ve been the #1 guy. So we can consider the Sharks landing two #1’s . I think Smith is going to end up being A LOT better than people outside the Sharks organization expect. I think after this draft it’ll slot the Sharks with having the best prospect pool in the NHL.

If Chicago got the pick this year, it would have been 3 out of 5 years that a CA team was screwed out of the #1 pick.

Grier said he is taking Macklin today on a sharks video.

Trust the Griercess ladies and gentlemen!! Love the video Brodie.

I think it was great that they released the footage of the draw itself while giving the media members in attendance the list of combinations quelling any rumors of any fixing

I'm not a big hockey fan but this is enough to make me interested

Its been a long time since we had this type of excitement. Last time was wheb we acquired Dan Boyle or Brent Burns

Nice summary Brodie. I don’t think the work is done for SJ, there is another season of max pain. And the consolation prize for another bottom three finish is looking real nice, James Hagens leads that pack. If Celebrini and Smith decide to arrive next season it will certainly add some juice to ticket sales but I can’t imagine those two giving the Sharks anything more than a 10 win boost. After losing 52 games, losing 42 will put them nearly in the bottom 5. Looking forward to the 2025 off-season there are some notable potential free agents that I would like to see Grier take a stab at. At this point he’s going to need two top 6 wingers, two top 4 defensemen and a capable goalie. And free agency is the quickest way to plug holes without giving up assets. My hope is team teal becomes a bubble playoff team in ‘25-‘26 season, time will tell but it’s now finally fun to be a Sharks fan.

Man, I remember watching you when you first started off with the Sharks. I actually became a Sharks fan around 97/98. I was about 12 then. I always envisioned you taking over for Randy Hahn one day haha.

Celebrini really tore it up last season: Boston U: 32G 32A 64P in 38 games. World Junior U-20 Championships (Canada): 4G 4A 8P in 5 games. He's a great passer in addition to being a great shooter. Very impressive.

A couple thoughts: first, I wouldn't hate seeing the Sharks package 14/42 to move up to 7-9. Either for one of the defenseman that should go early, Eiserman, or Iginla. Adding another top tier guy in that range (not that who ever is available at 14 would be a scrub) would be a huge boost in adding even more depth to what is looking like a decent group of youngsters. I also keep thinking about how Logan had Clowe in his pocket that whole rookie season to help protect him on the ice. I think that Macklin and/or Will Smith would benefit from the addition of a big power forward to help ensure that if someone takes a run at either of them - they'll have to answer for those actions. Assuming they play in the NHL next year - there is always a big possibility they go back to college for another year, which wouldn't be the worst thing ever for the Sharks.

Celebrini is very beneficial to the Sharks due to local connection.

The future of the Sharks players is looking bright and ready 🌞 .

Big name missed is Luca Cagnoni. Kid is a defenseman playing in the WHL and put up 90 points in 65 games this season. Excited for that one

Can’t wait to go to the games next year let’s go sharks!!🦈

Getting Celebrini makes the pain of the last 2 seasons worth it! Now let's get go an exciting attacking defense man in the draft. Well, a man can dream!

Sharks probaly get a top 5 pick next year too. Then after that they will start moving up as their previous picks get experience. Then its a free agent splash to fill in any holes missed by the draft.

as a former JR Shark player I am so happy for this kid

So happy something wonderful went the sharks way. The tram is still a long way off, but It seems as if there is a very small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel as the future core of the next era of sharks hockey starts to take shape. Wonderful video and GO SHARKS! 🦈

Sebastian Aho was a second round pick.

Will Smith, William Eklund, Filip Bystedt, Ozzy Wiesblatt, Macklin Celebrini... not a bad young core.

MY best buddy is a long time east coast sharks fan. Im pumped for the Sharks. A successful Franchise that needs a cup. Gald they will get a big name talent.

Awesome breakdown Brodie ! Glad the sharks future is looking good again .

The future looks bright! 😎

kinda stopped following the sharks a few years back as but this next coming season is gonna be exciting as it seems like a real fresh rebuild and i hope great things come from it in the future. Ive seen the warriors and 49ers go from being embarassing teams to great all time teams and champions. the Sharks have always been good but fell into mediocrity after so many gut wrenching playoffs and finals losses and finally sank to the bottom of the ocean. Now we can start anew, hoping that one day we will all get to see once again multiple bay area teams going to their respective championship games in the same year like in 2016

It's okay to have some odd commentary sometimes if you're super excited. It shows you're a fan like the rest of us!

If Celebrini, Smith, Musty and Mukhamadullin all play in the NHL next year, I'm going to be very tempted to get season tickets

It still hasn’t sunk in yet that our Sharks got the 1st overall pick in the NHL Draft although this week my priorities are to the Eurovision Song Contest but I’m sure it will sink in eventually!!!

Wish we had it in 2016.

We’ve never been young and talented, it will be something new at the very least

i would feel so much better about the sharks if the cuda wasnt also terrible.

Looking forward to the Hawks/Sharks matchups coming up. I see them meeting up a ton in the payoffs in 3-4 years

Will there be new fanatics jerseys readily available for purchase to represent at the draft in Vegas. ? I’ll be there , would love to rock a new celebrini sweater while he gets drafted

I'm excited for the upcoming season!

Happy that the first overall pick this year actually went to a team that deserved it. And that Chicago can't win another draft for 5 years. Sharks will be pretty happy with Celebrini. They've got some good young players in Eklund and Smith too. Future looks bright in San Jose.

Now we just need him to be good in the NHL.

I thought a team couldn't get the #1 draft pick twice in a row? Regardless, he'll need time to mature and grow into the NHL... remember Trey Lance.

New NHL rule should be: A team can't win the #1 pick two seasons in a row.

Macklin Cellebrini looks like Season 1 Jaime Lannister

This kid was the Hobie Award Winner, as the best college player in the country, at 17 years old, competing against guys 20+ years old. Has that ever been done before by an U18?

Still can't believe we got the #1 pick! I've watched every game this past season and it was brutal! We are historically a good team and I believe that this is a HUGE turnaround for San Jose hockey. As a lifelong hockey fan this is up there with my all-time favorite moments! #SharkTank #CelebriniShark #TealCrew

As in a 25.5% chance to win it THREE TIMES IN A ROW.

I don’t see how it would be possible for the Pens pick to slip to 11 with the way the draft lottery works? They could only move down to my understanding

I think they should change the rules, so no team could win the first overall pick two years in a row.

The best part about this draft lottery is that we didn't actually "win" it lmao. The draft order stayed the same so we can draft 1st overall in 2025 and 2026 regardless of how the picks become 1OA. This one doesn't count towards the new twice in five years rule.

Celebrini is my third favorite pasta.

Is there any chance the sharks don’t take macklin? (Don’t get me wrong I want Celebrini)

I wonder what number he'll pick 🤔🧐

This is almost a fairy tale

Last year was no conspiracy. They should not have even been allowed to draft after what that org did to that kid.

Does this mean i should lock down some season tickets?

You can't win a baseball game down by 5 with a grand slam. I have watched him, seen his vids... while I doubt he will was out, there is always that chance... look at some of the A's, Raiders and Warriors picks in the past, none none are rockstars. The Sharks need help, one player isn't going to fix all of it and I believe the subsequent pics will really shape the future of the franchise. If the Sharks whiff on this draft, we are looking at another 5 - 8 years of unwatchable and unsellable hockey. Sponsors hate that. Fans hate that. No fans = No Sponsors.

Did everyone forget about Will Smith in the pipeline too?

NHL draft process is GARBAGE.

cant wait til he scores and becomes a verb, a celebrini

Celebrini is the consensus #1 in a weak draft. Bit different than other clear cut #1s in the past

1 piece doesn't make a rebuild

You do realize however that none of this matters if the GM or management makes the wrong choices with the picks once they are in the system or during the season with their trades for players and picks? How many times have the wrong moves been made thinking that they're right and then everyone's expectations are busted, or when they get unexpected good but then something else makes them want to lose faith and bring the team back to square one? This news will only go so well as the management takes it. It's not over, nor beginning. It's just a tool to have. Better not consider your job done Sharks

Will Smith will be the better overall player. Somebody you can put a C on his sweater.

Nail Yakupov and Alexandre Daigle were clear #1 picks as well…

can't have worst luck than us...

Celebrini should stay in college another year.

This guy won’t be McDavid, matthews, bedard level… but more along the lines of Nugent Hopkins

Buds career is over before it even started 💔

too young. hope he stays in college another 2 years. Don't ruin him just to sell a few trinkets and tickets.

I wish Chicago got the 1st pick because I just can't stand seeing anyone worth having ending up in commiefornia. And Bedard needs a playmate 🤣 Not a die hard Chicago fan either.

so sad for Macklin Celebrini with the sharks. he will become Macklin Sadabrini , no cup rip.

SJ fans really think this kid is going to play for the worst team of the last 30 years with no end in sight
