SJHN Daily: Celebrini Talks Relationship With Smith, John Scott Coming Back to San Jose?

Training camp can’t come soon enough for Macklin Celebrini.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” Celebrini told NHL.com on Thursday. “I was actually thinking about their prospect pool and how they made those additions, and how great of players those guys are. And the people they have in the front office, I couldn’t be more excited.”

Celebrini, who’s been training in Vancouver, was at the Hobey Baker Memorial Tournament in Minnesota. He’s also the most recent recipient of the award.

The San Jose Sharks prospect also talked about his developing friendship with Will Smith and the pressure facing him as the first-overall pick going into camp.
