At the combine, scouts repeatedly compared the young Swede to Celebrini, touting his readiness to make the leap to the NHL and praising his talents, claiming he has all the makings to be the next superstar.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5x\">\tSupport for Celebrini is a concern for the organization, as a lot of pressure is placed on the now 20-year-old and burnout is a very real threat.\u00a0 In 82 games played this season, Celebrini broke Joe Thornton\u2019s franchise single season point record with 115 (45G, 70A).\u00a0 To put into perspective how valuable he was to the team, Celebrini was the only player to break 30 goals, 40 assists, and 60 overall points.\u00a0 Although he handles the stress well, it shouldn\u2019t be a burden he bears alone.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"60\">\tHead Coach, Ryan Warsofsky, has said at multiple points the club needs players who can play with Celebrini.\u00a0 Now, it seems that that player has been found in Stenberg.\u00a0 In his 43 games played for Frolunda HC in the SHL, where he won a championship, Stenberg notched 33 points (11G, 22A) and was named Swedish junior hockey player of the year.\u00a0 He also wowed on the international circuit, winning gold with Sweden at the World Junior Championship racking up 10 points (4G, 6A) in seven games, and recording 8 points (4G, 4A) in eight games at the World Championship where he faced off against future NHL opponents (and teammates).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"63\">\tWith his speed, decisive and brilliant passing, and high hockey IQ, Ivar Stenberg is yet another terrifying piece of the Sharks\u2019 elite forward group.\u00a0 Able to play both sides of the wing, Stenberg is versatile and dynamic, not only giving support on the wing of Celebrini but also spreading the talent to the second line where he can wing Michael Misa.\u00a0 The San Jose Sharks finally are starting to have the makings of a Stanley Cup contending team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow bladesofteal.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=bladesofteal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A player like Macklin Celebrini very rarely comes along, and finding support for such a talent can be&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384293,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-384292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
