Good player. As long as he grows a little, I think he'll be a first round pick down the road in 2025.
I like his offensive skills the second most from the Swedish WHC17 team after Zetterberg. Very quick decisions, skilled, can pass, shoot, pretty good skater.

i think that Fernstrom and Zetterverg are the two best players from this age group honestly.
Eklund is too small and I don’t like his skating.
His name will get him picked, probably high but I just don‘t see a first round pick here.

At the same age, scoring wise, they are on the same level. William saw monster development during his U18 season, however, and emerged as one of the top 02’s.
I don’t see the same level of finesse/hockey sense in Victor. In fact, from what I have seen thus far…he looks more like an energy player or someone that complements a line…rather than driving it.
When it comes to his agility, play along the boards, twisting and turning etc…he is very similar to William.
So, remains to be seen if he has the same kind kind of progress as his brother. Currently, I wouldn’t say there is too much to get excited about. His teammate and often linemate in the past, Linus Eriksson, looks more interesting.

Making his pro debut today, most likely on a line with Linus Eriksson & Fredrik Schlyter.

Has set a new U18 record for points in the Allsvenskan playoffs. Tied for 5th in Djurgården and just last game got promoted both line-wise and PP-wise (where he registered the apple below).

Kazakhstan isn't high level competition, but Baby Eklund is running the show out there. Strong on the puck, high level awareness and playmaking.
A goal and a couple of primary assists so far. Been fun to watch.

Not good enough for SKA
I like that he turns his head and look back before making the pass instead of just passing and hoping someone's there.

That’s a carbon copy of what Sharks fans have seen of William multiple times this season.

1+1 today as well, including a goal at 2:31 left in the game to tie the game at 3-3. Could've easily had another apple.

Wish we could see him in the SHL, would be super interested in how he stacks up to William at the same age. From my viewings of Victor in international play, he really looks like a right-handed clone of his brother.
