Macklin Celebrini, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft, stated he doesn't believe he alone caused the excitement around the Sharks. He stated: "I don't really think I'm the reason that this franchise is excited for the next couple years." This showcases his humility and recognition of team dynamics while noting that he is indeed a pivotal factor in rekindling interest in the franchise.
On managing expectations, Celebrini commented, "It's the same game I've played ever since I was a kid, just having fun, enjoying it. I think the expectations are there. I have those for myself, and you can't really focus too much on them." This reflects his grounded approach to hockey amidst external pressures, emphasizing enjoyment of the game.
