This is the Sharks board, we need a negative comment..

We probably have to wait a year to see him?

 

[Karl Prime]

Bordeleau, Weisblatt, Guschin, and now Eklund seems like that could exponentially speed up the reset, especially if we get Wright/Bedard next year.

Bedard is 2023.

I think a lot would have to go wrong for the team to be picking Wright next year though.

I think the goaltending not being league worst will prevent us without a lucky lottery win

 

[SactoShark]

JK… Awesome. Can't dobt that pick at all.

Glad Johnson was off the board so that wasn't a possibility I could shake my fist at for years.

We haven’t bought out Jones yet, there’s still hope!

 

[StanleyCup2035]

When William Eklund lifts the Stanley Cup for the Sharks in 2025 it will be very Sweed

 

[Coily]

Stoked about this, just don't trade him

 

[Bizz]

I'm reading a lot of "Eklund should be 2nd, if not 1st overall in this upcoming draft" posts and articles about him. This was a major steal.

 

[Mafoofoo]

DW, DWjr, et al make call to Eklund.

(five scouts in Sweden planning lunch with him)

DW Jr throwing shade at other teams with the “no idea how you fell” bit lmao

But what's his VO2 max?

Eklund will knock us out of the Bedard sweepstakes by playing too well.

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Isn’t this another good pick that has Sundstrom written all over it?!

 

[Erep]

Isn’t this another good pick that has Sundstrom written all over it?!

Or just a pick that has "not incompetence" written all over it.

 

[undercovernerd]

Didn’t know he could possibly play C at the next level? Pass first 2-way type. Exciting.

 

[hohosaregood]

Franchise 1C inbound.

 

[tealzamboni]

Or just a pick that has "not incompetence" written all over it.

The scouts only qualify for participation trophies on this pick.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Oh man, I’ve never actually heard Ferraro and now I realize he is basically every dude at Newport.


Edit: no scout dropped by with a jersey for Eklund?

DW Jr said there’s 4-5 scouts in town and Eklund suggested they all go out to lunch tomorrow.
DW Sr also suggested he might play for the big club next year.

He reminds me of Sebastien Aho, that would be filthy on the sharks.

I like guys who talk like that because I feel like no matter what the other person says, they’ll always stay at the same excited level.

like if Eklund was like, “to celebrate I will devour the hearts of my enemies this eve” Ferraro would be like “Alright bro, that’s awesome man! Super cool, can’t wait!”

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

DW and DW Jr FaceTiming Eklund after they picked him.

 

[Negatively Positive]

DW Sr. desperate to save his job. Don't burn a year of his contract just to be a bubble team. Just tank and hope to get some luck with the lottery. Even if they don't win the lottery another top 10 pick would be nice.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

Seems like DW Jr was absolutely hyped to get Eklund. He looks genuinely ecstatic about it. Think that was their guy the whole time, but they didn’t think he’d fall to them.

i totally agree but also as a fan I’d really enjoy watching Wiesblatt and Eklund make the Sharks next year…
