It's a good day to be Macklin Celebrini.
The British Columbia native is barely two months past his 20th birthday, but he entered a different financial stratosphere on Tuesday when the Sharks announced he'd signed a five-year contract extension worth $18.8 million annually.
The deal kicks in next summer to begin the 2026-27 season, a point at which Celebrini—making $975,000 per year on his entry-level contract—would have become an unrestricted free agent.
Instead, he'll be the highest-paid player in the NHL.
The deal made obvious ripples around the league and the B/R hockey team surveyed the landscape to assign the biggest winners and losers as a result.
