He mentioned he'd meet with Macklin Celebrini, his family, and his representatives after the Draft to decide on next steps. Then he paused and said, «Did I say Macklin?»
This isn't a huge shock since Celebrini, the 17-year-old phenom and this year's Hobey Baker Award winner from Boston University, is the consensus top pick and a generational talent. Still, it's amusing to see Grier accidentally reveal his choice 11 days before draft day. Even more funny is new Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky giving his thoughts on the pick and revealing his development plan for the stud.
