Skill-young · Rebuild progress

Macklin Celebrini was leading the Art Ross race in November and emerged as the most exciting young centre in hockey, putting up superstar-level production at 19 and turning every Sharks shift into appointment viewing. He's flanked by Will Smith and Yaroslav Askarov giving the rebuild three legitimate franchise pieces all developing on the same timeline. The Sharks improved by 25+ points but missed the playoffs in the brutal Pacific, and they're arguably the most fun team in the league to watch right now. The full rebuild graduation is one year away and the foundation is real.
