There’s not much drama surrounding the top of the 2024 NHL draft. Any mention of Macklin Celebrini over the last few years has included the qualifier: “The projected No. 1 pick of the 2024 draft.”
That talk only picked up steam during his freshman season at Boston University, when Celebrini took home the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey’s top player after tallying 32 goals and 32 assists in 38 games.
The San Jose Sharks, by virtue of finishing in last place and winning the lottery, are in line to select the talented forward, who turned 18 earlier this month.
