""My plan is that I'd like to go over this season, of course, and try playing in the AHL or wherever it ends up. We'll just have to see if they reach out. But yeah, it would be fun. I want to play hockey, and if the Islanders or Bridgeport wanted me over, that would be really fun.""
"Despite his playoff exit, it appears Eklund isn't ready to call it a season, as he says he's ready to make the jump to North America right now."
The NY Islanders signed Kashawn Aitcheson to his entry-level contract, completing the signing of all three first-round picks from 2025. Victor Eklund, the 16th overall pick, played for Djurgardens in the SHL, which reached the playoffs but lost in the first round. Eklund expressed his desire to move to North America and play in the AHL, indicating readiness to join the Islanders or Bridgeport. This move is unusual for European players post-season, but it could benefit Bridgeport as they aim for a playoff berth.
