2024 Fantasy Outlook

The silver lining for the Sharks' horrid 2023-24 campaign is that they were able to select Celebrini with the No. 1 overall pick. Although not quite touted as a generational talent like Connor Bedard, Celebrini is still expected to develop into an elite forward. With the Sharks focused on rebuilding, it would not be surprising to see Celebrini start the 2024-25 campaign on their first line and top power-play unit, potentially sharing the ice with Logan Couture in all situations, provided the veteran forward has fully recovered from his groin injury. Celebrini, who had 32 goals and 64 points across 38 contests with Boston University last season, is expected to be one of the main contenders for the Calder Trophy, and it would not be shocking to see him reach the 60-point mark as a rookie.

Inks entry-level deal

July 6, 2024

Celebrini signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Sharks on Saturday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

ANALYSIS
San Jose selected Celebrini with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. He amassed 32 goals and 64 points in 38 games for Boston University during his freshman season in 2023-24 en route to winning the Hobey Baker Award. As a member of the Sharks, he will likely occupy a top-six role and see time on the top power-play unit during his 2024-25 rookie campaign.

Finalizing future plans

July 2, 2024

Celebrini expects to decide whether to turn pro in the coming days, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Tuesday.

ANALYSIS
Celebrini could return to Boston University for his sophomore campaign, but it seems unlikely after the 18-year-old center was selected first overall in the 2024 NHL Draft. During his rookie campaign, the Vancouver native racked up 32 goals and 32 assists in 38 games for the Terriers. Assuming he makes the jump to the NHL, Celebrini would almost certainly move into a top-six role for San Jose in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units.
