First-overall pick Macklin Celebrini had players talking after his first official training camp practice with the San Jose Sharks.

No. 1 overall draft pick Macklin Celebrini’s first official practice with the San Jose Sharks provided a needed bit of optimism for a franchise that has had little success in recent years.

The Sharks allowed 326 goals last season, the most since 1995-96. Their two-year total of 641 goals against is the most since the franchise’s first two seasons – years when they won a combined 28 games. Yeah, it was that bad. There’s no way to win when you allow nearly four goals and are outshot by nearly 10 per contest.
