Craig Button predicted that Macklin Celebrini would make the Canadian Olympic team in July. What made him so confident in the San Jose Sharks’ teen sensation?
The TSN Draft guru also discusses Michael Misa’s performance so far at the World Junior Championships and his top 2026 Draft prospects.
Does Button think that Misa should return to the San Jose Sharks after WJCs, or go back to the OHL? Is Gavin McKenna still No. 1 on his 2026 Draft board?
Button shares his thoughts on Sam Dickinson, Leo Sahlin Wallenius, Igor Chernyshov, and keeping Mario Ferraro, too.
Of course, San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle has won an Olympic gold medal for Canada, in 2010.
Dan shares his experiences as an Olympic taxi squad member in 2006 and starring in the 2010 Winter Games. What’s his advice to Celebrini?
In addition, Sharks insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and Sharks expert Zubair Jeewanjee talk about San Jose’s recent winning streak, Zack Ostapchuk, Yaroslav Askarov, the Kiefer Sherwood rumor, and what GM Mike Grier should do with his many UFA’s.

Hello…
I think Zubair is right on that Celebrini turnover against Minnesota and I’m glad someone else noticed it. There was a reverse angle and it definitely looked like he was trying to flip it over the top and just whiffed on it.

I’ve seen Celebrini mistakes cost a couple of goals… but, I mean… he’s probably responsible for 80% of the goals for the sharks AND he plays in all zones.… there are NO perfect players… and Celebrini is as close to it as ANYONE is going to get in this league. The fact that he’s so young, and THIS good is mind-boggling. With good health, he’s a lock to become HOF material. …and he’s A SHARK!!!! 🦈 #Blessed
So excited for Cherni’s game. Knew he was going to be a big piece.
I would love to pick up Auston as a free agent.
