Comparing Connor Bedard & Macklin Celebrini's Contracts | Ryan Greene's 2025-26 Season Recap

Thursday's episode begins with a discussion on Macklin Celebrini's new contract extension with the San Jose Sharks, making him the highest-paid player in hockey for the 2027-28 season. Host Jack Bushman compares Celebrini's contract to Connor Bedard's second deal with the Chicago Blackhawks and breaks down why a five-year contract makes sense for both players. Then, Bushman dishes out a grade to rookie forward Ryan Greene for his performance in 2025-26. The episode concludes with Scott Wheeler's top 20 drafted goalie prospects list, where Blackhawks' netminder Drew Commesso makes an appearance. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
