Outlook Macklin Celebrini

Celebrini cements top-five fantasy standing after record-setting campaign

Fresh off securing a contract extension, Macklin Celebrini enters his age-20 season as San Jose's undisputed top-line center. After setting the franchise single-season record with 115 points last year while logging over 21 minutes a night, he has quickly cemented himself as a premier NHL talent.

Our projections anticipate another dominant campaign, modeling 45 goals, 70 assists, and 115 points over 82 games. With 287 projected shots on goal and 33 power-play points, Celebrini brings immense category-wide upside, paired with modest peripheral support in hits and blocks.

Carrying an early first-round ADP of 3.88, Celebrini demands top-tier investment. Our models validate that draft capital, ranking him among fantasy hockey's premier center assets capable of anchoring any roster with elite point-per-game scoring.

Breakdown Roman Kantserov

    Overview

  • I couldn't find any stats of this player even playing a game. This is most likely due to a mispelling. Try typing in the partial player name and let autocomplete fill in his name for you to avoid this happening again. The other possible reason is that he hasn't played in the past 30 days which makes it impossible for me to assign him a value.
