Sharks F Macklin Celebrini'simpact on the franchise was "unmistakable, as evidenced by the 3,000 or so people paid money to see him and San Jose’s other top prospects take part in a midday scrimmage" on Thursday. Sharks D Eric Pohlkamp said, "I think last year was a pretty good crowd, but this year was maybe way better.” Sharks Dir of Player Development Todd Marchant said of Celebrini, “He’s given a buzz back to the San Jose Sharks organization.” When players were introduced "one-by-one before the scrimmage, Celebrini ... received the loudest ovation" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 7/4).
