0:00
overall pick belongs to the San Jose Sharks
0:03
I mean, it's pretty clear, right? I think I got to go a coalizer in here. There's nobody else who makes sense. So
0:12
in actuality, we all know, Macklin Celebrini is going to be a San Jose Shark, as Mike Greer basically said the other day
0:21
Yeah, well, Macklin Celebrini, I think is pretty far gone conclusion that he will be in San Jose. So I will him. What is
0:29
he going to bring to the San Jose Sharks? I'm not going to ask you why you picked him. But you know, what is he going to
0:35
bring? Is he the I don't want to say quote unquote, end of the rebuild already. But is it something that he is definitely
0:43
the guy they're going to build around? So yeah, definitely. I think he's gonna, everybody was
0:49
thinking Will Smith was gonna be that first line center of the future. Now you have Celebrini going into that role instead, I
0:55
would say, which gives you a strong one to punch. But even behind that, now you have Philip Bystet, the power forward, who
1:01
can be your third line center of the future. They're building a really deep center court. And Celebrini is gonna be the key
1:05
part of that. I mean, he brings that star power that you need in a rebuild. He may not be Conor Bedard. But he's still a very
1:13
high end player who is going to make a big difference at the NHL level. And in terms of the rebuild, I wouldn't say it's
1:21
close to finalizing it yet. They have a lot of good forwards who can make an impact, but the defense is still very weak, in
1:28
terms of the amount of high end talent. You have Shakir Mukumadulin who's gonna be great, it seems. But other than that, you're
1:34
looking at, I would say, maybe four, five, six defensemen are who the rest of your prospects are. You don't have like a
1:41
straight number two or straight number three, you kind of need to add a few more high end talents back there as well
1:48
Yeah, I mean, Celebrini is a great start. And I think he's definitely number one center. I mean, he's, he's gonna be there
1:54
And Will Smith, definitely a good supporter, a supporting player to build around too. And yeah, they've got a good
2:01
foundation, I think, moving forward. But I think their defense definitely needs some boosting. We'll see if they do
2:06
that in this draft. They do have another first round pick. So they may end up picking a defenseman down there. We'll see
2:12
how that all plays out
