With Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith signed, which National Hockey League teams have a better duo of forwards than the San Jose Sharks? Start by setting the rules for who is eligible for the exercise, which teams do not have qualifying players on their roster, which teams can’t compete, and how most of these teams are viewed as playoff-caliber teams. Then, look at how some teams have players but nowhere near the caliber of Celebrini and Smith, or they can only put up one player worthy of competition. Finally, the teams with players of the same draft stock and skill in the NHL this year, and if the Sharks have a better tandem than their best young gun forwards?

Matthew Savoie now with the oilers Philip broberg and Dylan Holloway. but I get what you mean not like crazy top prospects like say other rebuilding/ retooling teams.
It's Bradley Nah-doe
7:28 Connelly and Brisson are the only first round picks in the entirety of FV's history that are still in their system.
It’s fun to imagine alternate timelines.
1. If we won the 2nd or 3rd pick in the 2023 draft , then Fantilli or Carlsson would have played on the team last year, making unlikely we finish last and draft Celebrini. So our top prospects could be
Fantilli or Carlsson, and Levshunov or Demidov
vs
Celebrini and Smith
2. If the Pen’s 2024 1st RD pick fell in the top ten, then they would have likely given us their 2025 unprotected pick, which is in a draft with only 1-2 d-men are in the top ten, vs 6 d-men in this last draft in the top ten. I’d rather have one top ten d-man this year vs getting one next year. All it cost was a mid-2nd rounder to secure drafting Dickinson at 11th.
Good show. Water cooler conversation.
I think many GM'S would be pondering the choice, if Bedard and Celebrini were in the same draft. It's like comparing Gretzky to Messier. Tough picking? 😊
If Celebrini’s ceiling is Crosby & his floor is Toews, plus Smith’s ceiling is Hughes and his floor is a decent 2C, I wouldn’t trade them for any of the duos you mentioned currently.
I think the drafts since 2021 have worked out perfectly in terms of getting players that fit together. We still need a top pairing RHD, a GK and maybe a top 6 winger(depending on how you view Igor, Goose, Zetterlund or Halttunen) but things have gone pretty perfect in terms of who’s been available when we drafted as well as how Grier has traded for players.
I'll take Smith/Celebrini over any of these duos. Now add in Eklund/Musty and compare with Zegras/Mctavish and Moore/Reichel and let's really get into it!
