Macklin Celebrini, the 20-year-old hockey phenom who just shattered records and landed the cover of EA Sports NHL 27, is making headlines by willing to take a pay cut to help his San Jose Sharks win — a move that’s rare in this league. While Leo Carlsson of the Ducks cashed in on a record-breaking 18-million-dollar deal despite underperforming, Celebrini’s focus is purely on team success, aiming to give the Sharks cap flexibility to build a championship roster around him.
