As expected, Macklin Celebrini was the No. 1 overall choice at the NHL draft on Friday in Las Vegas, going swiftly off the board to the San Jose Sharks, who have big plans for the 18-year-old center and former member of the Boston University Terriers.

Macklin Celebrini is taken by the San Jose Sharks with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft.

Celebrini -- clocking in at 6-foot and just shy of 200 pounds -- was second overall in college scoring, failing to notch at least one point in only six games.-- had ever won a Hobey Baker Award. That same season Celebrini was the Hockey East Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and scoring champion.

Prior to joining the college ranks, Celebrini spent the 2022-23 season with the USHL's Chicago Steel, where he led the Steel to an Eastern Conference Finals berth with 46 goals and 86 points in 50 games.
