San Jose Sharks secured their first-ever no. 1 pick in franchise history by winning the 2024 NHL Draft lottery, with the best odds of 18.5 percent due to their last-place finish in the regular season.
Sharks GM Mike Grier expressed excitement, stating, 'It's a big moment for the organization and fans to have the opportunity to draft someone like Macklin. It's a tough year for us, so we couldn't be more excited.'
Macklin Celebrini, a standout freshman from Boston University, is the anticipated first overall selection, having ties to the Bay area where his family resides and where he played junior hockey.
