July 29 (UPI) -- The San Jose Sharks signed forward Macklin Celebrini to a five-year, $94 million extension, general manager Mike Grier announced Wednesday.
Celebrini's pact includes an average annual value of $18.8 million.
"I couldn't be happier to sign an extension today," Celebrini said in a news release. "The faith and support that [owner Hasso] Plattner, Mike Grier and the entire staff have shown me throughout the past two seasons is proof that we are building something special here.
"My teammates and I are ready to take another step toward the ultimate goal of bringing a Stanley Cup to this city and its incredible fans. I can't wait to get going."
