Macklin Celebrini is spoken of in the same breath as Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid.
And now, the San Jose Sharks superstar is going to get paid like them.
The 19-year-old is coming off a remarkable sophomore campaign, setting a San Jose Sharks’ franchise record for single-season points with 115.
