The Vancouver Canucks top prospect Aiden Celebrini, brother of Macklin, will be going back to the NCAA next season, unfortunately not joining the Canucks.

The Vancouver Canucks will have to wait at least one more year to sign defense prospect Aiden Celebrini.

Celebrini will go back to Boston University for at least one more year

As per The Hockey News' Max Miller, Celebrini will go back to Boston University for one more year. That was according to his brother, San Jose Sharks player Macklin Celebrini.
A 2023 NHL Draft selection, 171st overall, Celebrini has skated in two seasons with the Terriers, appearing in 64 games.
He was also recognized for his efforts in the classroom as he was named to the Hockey East All-Academic Team for the 2023-24 season. This season, he has appeared in 26 games, tallying six points and 40 blocked shots.
The Canucks have ample time to sign Celebrini prior to his rights expiring. The 20-year-old will remain on Vancouver's reserve list until August 15, 2027, which provides him up to two additional NCAA seasons, per PuckPedia.
Celebrini is expected to take on a bigger role at Boston University next season, potentially becoming a team leader. This is exactly what the Canucks would like to see from him, as he one day prepares to make the jump to the NHL.
Next for Celebrini and the Terriers is the Hockey East Tournament Semifinal versus UConn. The Boston University record versus UConn this year is 1-0-1, having last won via shootout. The contest is scheduled for March 20 at 1:00 p.m. PT.
