    Intersting to see this as I’ve seen many people downplaying him as a prospect. Maybe now that they know he’s going to SJ instead of the Blackhawks or something.

    Celebrini rules.

    I know he’s super balanced and a two way force etc etc. but I find it funny that the infographic says he’s “overwhelmingly skilled and dynamic” and rates all his categorical skills between 6-8/10 lol

    Over the past few years’ worth of their guides, the player that is the closest comparable to him in terms of grading is Connor Bedard for the array similarity, with Macklin falling between Bedard and Fantilli in terms of total numerical comparables.

    Some historical comparisons based on EP’s numerical scoring metrics:

    Bedard: 7 – 9 – 8 – 8.5 – 9 – 6 (47.5/54 , 7.92 avg)

    Celebrini: 7 – 8 – 8 – 8 – 8 – 6 (45/54, 7.5 avg)

    Fantilli: 6 – 7.5 – 7 – 7 – 7- 8 (42.5/54, 7.08 avg)

    Eklund: 5.5 – 5.5 – 7 – 6 – 7.5 – 5.5 (37/54, 6.17 avg)

    Carlsson: 5 – 5.5 – 7 – 7 – 7.5 – 6.5 (38.5/54, 6.42 avg)

    Slafkovsky: 5 – 6 – 6.5 – 7.5 – 6 – 8 (39/54, 6.5 avg)

    Smith: 5 – 5.5 – 7.5 – 7.5 – 7.5 – 4 (37/54, 6.17 avg)

    Beniers: 6 – 5.5 – 7 – 6 – 7 – 5.5 (37/54, 6.17 avg)

    I’m buying one of our beautiful white away jerseys with this studs name on it next year. I know that means Fanatics garbage, but I don’t care

    Ugh I went ahead and watched one of those dumb EA NHL 24 sims on YouTube where they did a Celibrini career simulation and he never went past 70 points or won a cup in his career. I know it’s fake but that pissed me off lol.

    We have an insane potential superstar in the making and I’m still on cloud 9.

    Im pretty pumped for him because i love a guy who plays an all around game. He obviously had a good year in college but i think alot of folks arent as high on him as a 1OA because offensively he doesnt jump out like the Bedards or Mackinnons were (and to be fair they are both better offensively 1OA’s then Celebrini to me).

    I dont know if we have seen this kind of 1OA in a bit (Hischier i believe is the last one to fit the bill) since alot of the last ones have just blown you away with their elite offensive skills. For me i envision him to be a better couture which isnt meant to be a slight but rather why cootch was so good. Cootch was offensively gifted but he plays a 200ft game too which means he is on the ice ALOT. Cootch is on your PK, PP, last 2 minutes. Every situation couture not only fits into but is probably your best player. I love the idea that he can learn under cootch who i think has been one of the better PKers during our glory years and should hopefully surpass his offensive limits.

    Also can you imagine our PP in 3 years Celebrini setting up Halttunen.

  7. After all these turrible years, all this hype got me scared lmao
