The story so far
The Sharks have signed forward Macklin Celebrini to a five-year contract extension worth $94 million. According to The Boston Globe and The New York Times, this deal makes Celebrini the NHL's highest-paid player with an average annual value of $18.8 million.
The contract's value and Celebrini's new cap hit are leading the NHL, as noted by Yahoo Sports and NHL.com. This significant investment by the Sharks suggests they expect Celebrini to be a centerpiece for the team.
