The San Jose Sharks secured the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft after winning the draft lottery. General manager Mike Grier is eyeing Boston University center Macklin Celebrini as their top choice. Celebrini, a 17-year-old forward and the youngest Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner in college hockey, is the NHL Scouting Bureau's top-ranked prospect.
This marks the first time in franchise history that the Sharks will have the first overall pick. The team finished last in the overall standings this season, making this opportunity particularly significant for them.
