NHL scout explains how Eklund, other young Sharks can impress this season
Briefly

"It was an up-and-down first full season for the 2021 No. 7 pick, but it ended on a high note. The 5-foot-11 winger put up six goals and nine assists in his last 14 games, in a sign of things to come for him. The scout specifically noted, 'I felt like he really came into his own. You could really see the player he was going to become, and the skill-set and everything.'"
"An NHL scout, not with the Sharks, shared his thoughts to San Jose Hockey Now on these players' performances last season, and what he's looking for from them during the 2024-25 season. He emphasizes that 'Just because you're not big doesn't mean you can't be strong on the puck. There are a lot of guys, you look at Brad Marchand in his prime, he's always been really, really, really hard on pucks.'"
