Celebrini inks record $94M extension, becoming NHL's highest-paid player
San Jose Sharks star Macklin Celebrini signed a five-year, $94 million extension (about $18.8 million per year), the richest deal in NHL history and locking him up through 2031-32. At age 20, he posted 115 points last season (45 goals, 70 assists) and captained Canada offensively at the Olympics, cementing his status as one of hockey’s top talents. Despite the deal, the Sharks missed the playoffs for the seventh straight year but showed notable improvement, with GM Mike Grier calling Celebrini the franchise centerpiece.
