Macklin Celebrini on Playoffs, New Contract, and Connor Bedard
Macklin Celebrini — former first overall NHL draft pick, who currently plays for the San Jose Sharks. In his second season he tallied 115 points, nearly doubling his 63 points from his rookie season, and also scored 45 goals (fourth in the NHL) and recorded 70 assists (seventh in the league). He is 20 years old.
Growing up in Vancouver, Celebrini was a fan of the Canucks and his favorite player Sidney Crosby, and also loved the Chicago Blackhawks, especially Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. He knows Connor Bedard, also from Vancouver, who plays for the Blackhawks; they played together in junior league, have mutual friends, and believe Bedard's greatest strength is his shot.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
