"If I were a voter, or if I had a vote I'd have to do some more research, because I don't watch San Jose all the time. I don't watch Edmonton all the time, I don't watch Colorado all the time but from afar he'd be my Hart Trophy pick for two reasons. One, I feel like the San Jose Sharks are overachieving with expectations and are in a playoff spot (four) games above .500."
"The improvement that he's made from year one to year two has been incredible. What's impressive to Carbery is Celebrini's production at even strength, especially in relation to the rest of the Sharks' roster. Celebrini has 20 even-strength goals, with winger Collin Graf next on the list with 11. Celebrini also has 29 even-strength assists, 11 more than center Alexander Wennberg."
Spencer Carbery would give his Hart Trophy vote to 19-year-old Macklin Celebrini based on Celebrini's rapid second-year improvement and elite scoring. Celebrini has 70 points in 45 games after a 63-point rookie season in 70 games and ranks third in the NHL in scoring. Celebrini leads the Sharks in even-strength goals (20) and even-strength assists (29), significantly outpacing teammates. The Sharks sit comfortably in a playoff position above .500 while playing organized, structured team hockey, and Celebrini's offensive impact is a central reason for the team's success.
