In just two seasons in the NHL, the 20-year-old has established himself as one of the best players in the world. 🏒⁣ ⁣ The San Jose Sharks have made Macklin Celebrini the NHL's highest-paid player, signing the star centre to a five-year contract extension worth $18.8M a season. 💰⁣ ⁣ The $18.8M AAV (average annual value) surpasses the five year contract that Anaheim Ducks centre signed earlier this month. 👀⁣ ⁣ Celebrini finished fourth in NHL scoring last season with 115 points – 45 goals and 70 assists – helping the Sharks post one of the biggest single-season improvements in franchise history. 🔥⁣ ⁣ He also became just the second teenager in NHL history to record at least 40 goals and 70 assists in a season... A feat last accomplished by Wayne Gretzky. 😳⁣ ⁣ #menssports #hockey #nhl
