Celebrini Signs Record 5-Year, $94M Extension

Macklin Celebrini signed a 5-year, $94M extension ($18.8M AAV) with team-friendly structure, pre-negotiation meeting with Plattner and Grier, and comparisons to Crosby. Paul Bissonnette called him 'Sidney Crosby 2.0' after the extension, adding external validation. He remains the centerpiece of the rebuild.
