Sharks dump Eklund for 9th pick

idk about shocked, thought he was a decent depth guy, maybe they're looking for more upside from the picks?

idk about shocked either, ngl i thought his minus-12 last yr was a major concern, might be better for him to get some ice time elsewhere tbh

tbh minus-12 is a big flag, especially for 3rd line depth, we gotta have guys who can contribute on both ends, you never know how it's gonna play out tho @just_saw_this

tbh i think we dodged a bullet, minus-12 is a red flag and if theyre gonna cut guys for that maybe they are rebuilding or somethin

@just_saw_this dont think we dodged that much of a bullet, 4th round pick was decent but still kinda short for a guy who played last yr

@greg_sharks disagree, that pick is more than just a decent depth guy deserved, glad hes gone

@Sharks9 i dont think its crazy to think we dodged a bullet either man, guy just seemed like a system fit rather than a real contributor honestly

yeah man honestly i feel like we dodged a bullet too, eklund just didnt bring enough to the table imo, that 4th round pick is better than holding onto someone who cant help us on d and is gonna eat up cap space next yr
