San Jose Hockey Now wishes everyone a Happy New Year and a Happy New Year to Macklin Celebrini, who has made Team Canada!

TSN Draft guru Craig Button joins us to talk all about that! Back in July, he was already telling people that Macklin was making the Canadian Olympic team! What made Craig so confident and what are some of his 2026 Draft thoughts?

We also check in on what I call the Randy Hahn Line: Since we last recorded, the Sharks have ripped off 3 straight wins…do we think now that the Sharks are making the playoffs?

Igor Chernyshov is among the Sharks that are buzzing, I went to talk to another NHL scout about Chernyshov!

Finally, what’s the value of playoff experience or playing playoff-like regular season games for the likes of Chernyshov and company? Or should the Sharks just traded UFAs Wennberg and Ferraro for whatever they can get?

(15:00) Dan Boyle recounts his Olympic experiences.
