  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.
I’m guessing the Sharks had their eye on someone in the 2nd draft tier that they wanted to move down to get, but nobody wanted to pay to move up, so SJ is doing this to get him. Gonna be a fun draft for the SJ front office.

Sharks would be crazy. Eklund is a Stankoven type who goes 100% all the time, digs in the corners, forechecks, backchecks anc kills penalties. These playoffs showed you need this type of guy.

Eklund is really good at puck retrieval. That's about it. He's a poor shooter, a poor passer, and lacks vision. But, a change of scenery and reuniting him with Zetts can ignite him.
