NHL draft lottery: San Jose Sharks win No 1 pick with eye on Macklin Celebrini

• Lowly Sharks target BU teenage star with No 1 overall pick
• Blackhawks retain No 2 selection while Ducks take No 3

Mike Grier was so elated over winning the NHL draft lottery on Tuesday night, the San Jose Sharks general manager dispensed with tradition by coming out and stating exactly who he expects to select with the No 1 pick: Boston University center Macklin Celebrini.

Where past GMs in Grier's position have kept their choice under wraps until they step to the podium on draft day, Macklin's abilities and ties to San Jose were too much to keep it a secret for a Sharks team looking ahead to a brighter future.
