That would be on brand for sure, but Celebrini looks like the real deal. He just happens to have a name that sounds like a bust lol so I understand the skepticism! Especially as a Flames fan. Not that stats tell the whole story but here's Celebrini's numbers last year and so far this year:
2022-2023 Chicago Steel [USHL]
GP: 50
G: 46
A: 40
Points: 86
2023-2024 Boston Univ. [NCAA]
GP: 6
G: 8
A: 3
Points: 11
For a freshman Center to put up those kind of point totals so far is super impressive, will be interesting to see if he can keep that pace up for the entire season. Scouting reports are glowing about him being a game breaking Center as well, sounds like the no-brainer 1st overall pick to me. We have to be due for some lottery luck right? RIGHT?
