State of the teamNo team in the NHL improved more than San Jose, which gained 34 points in the standings. Macklin Celebrini put up 115 points in his second season. The Sharks still missed the playoffs for a seventh straight year. Celebrini, the 2024 first-overall pick, announced himself as a franchise centerpiece. The rebuild under coach Ryan Warsofsky is clearly turning a corner, with San Jose in contention into the final week for the first time in years. San Jose then made Celebrini the highest-paid player in the NHL, signing him to a five-year, $94 million extension at $18.8 million a season. The Sharks also held three first-round picks — Ivar Stenberg at No. 2, Keaton Verhoeff at No. 9 and Ryan Lin at No. 21 — added Mason Marchment up front, and committed $17 million over four years to defencemen Darnell Nurse and Jacob Trouba. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.
