The San Jose Sharks have added a foundational piece to their rebuilding plan. The Sharks took Boston University center Macklin Celebrini with the first pick in the NHL draft Friday. He was just the fourth freshman to win the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey’s top player.

FILE - Boston University’s Macklin Celebrini skates with the puck in front of Rochester’s Elijah Gonsalves during an NCAA men’s college hockey tournament regional game March 28, 2024, in Sioux Falls, S.D. Celebrini has a pretty good idea his NHL future lies with the San Jose Sharks, who hold the first pick in the draft. For now, the 17-year-old center coming off a celebrated freshman season at Boston University isn’t in a rush to get there, yet. Macklin Celebrini, the expected No.

Celebrini was undecided on whether he will return to BU for a second year, but he deepens a talented prospect pool on a Sharks team in the midst of its longest playoff drought, now spanning five years.
