Mike Grier, the San Jose Sharks general manager, dispensed with tradition by openly stating they expect to select Boston University's Macklin Celebrini with the No 1 pick.
Grier envisions Celebrini complementing veteran centers Couture and Granlund, shifting the focus from a challenging season to a hopeful future for the Sharks.
Celebri's ties to the Bay Area through his father and prior time with the Sharks junior team make him a fitting choice for San Jose's top pick in the draft.
