San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini has a big-time contract coming his way when his ELC is up at the end of his third season.<\/p>\n
The Athletic surveyed<\/a> more than 20 NHL agents who represent hundreds of NHL players on nine key questions, including what Celebrini\u2019s next contract could like.<\/p>\n They saw Celebrini\u2019s deal in a very different tier compared to fellow young star Connor Bedard. And the scouts see Celebrini\u2019s contract being massive and anywhere from $10 million to $20 million depending on the term of the contract.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he\u2019s going to go very short-term, it\u2019ll be $10 to $12 (million),\u201d one scout told The Athletic. \u201cIf he\u2019s going to give up term, it\u2019ll be in the $12 to $15 (million). If he really wants to push, it could be $17 (million).\u201d<\/p>\n With the rising salary cap in coming years in the NHL, scouts see shorter terms as being more likely.<\/p>\n No matter what Celebrini\u2019s next contract sits at, the scouts see it \u2013 along with Bedard\u2019s \u2013 resetting the market for second contracts for players.<\/p>\n At San Jose Hockey Now\u2026<\/p>\n Luca Cagnoni<\/a> is getting a chance on the Sharks\u2019 top power play unit.<\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks<\/a> haven\u2019t played well in their last three losses.<\/p>\n And they\u2019re now officially out of the playoffs, but the San Jose Sharks<\/a> did snap a 15-game losing streak against the Nashville Predators.<\/p>\n Sheng Peng\u2019s San Jose Sharks<\/a> year-end awards ballot.<\/p>\n How can Luca Cagnoni<\/a> improve defensively?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Other Sharks News\u2026<\/p>\n Brodie Brazil showed Will Stephens from Trailer Park Sports Network around SAP Center.<\/a><\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks may have faded at the end of the year, but the future is bright.<\/a><\/p>\n Macklin Celebrini fits the Steph Curry mold.<\/a><\/p>\n Eric Pohlkamp is an NCAA champion, what\u2019s next for the San Jose Sharks prospect?<\/p>\n David Carle confirms Eric Pohlkamp (Sharks) has been dealing with a hand and foot injury.
