Macklin Celebrini, expected to be taken by the San Jose Sharks at the NHL Draft later this month, spoke with Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid on Monday
Macklin Celebrini, the expected No. 1 pick in the NHL draft to the San Jose Sharks, speaks with reporters prior to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, Monday, June 10, 2024. Macklin Celebrini, expected to be selected first overall by the San Jose Sharks at the NHL Draft later this month, got another chance to speak with Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid on Monday before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Fla.
“Watching the best players in the world prepare for this type of game, I felt it was just a learning experience, just kind of seeing how they approach it,” said Celebrini, who also spoke with former Sharks winger Evander Kane on Monday. “You can obviously tell that they’re pretty laid back, and they’ve done it before.”
“High pace. I mean, it’s the best players in the world there,” Celebrini told reporters at Amerant Arena. “So that was an experience that I really enjoyed and learned from.”“I was trying to play catch up,” Celebrini said. “I was trying to keep up with those guys. Even in a summer skate, the attention to detail they have and their approach towards getting better was impressive.”
As a freshman at BU, Celebrini had 64 points in 38 games and became the youngest-ever winner of the Hobey Baker Award as the NCAA’s best player. “There’s prospects every year that kind of go through the same sort of thing,” Celebrini told TSN. “I’ve been watching the draft since I was a kid and I’ve been watching guys in my position a while ago. Just watching those guys and seeing how they handle it, that’s definitely helped.”
