In a season from hell, William Eklund has shone all year, a beacon of hope from Day 1 of training camp to now. Among the Sharks' youngest NHL-ready prospects, he's the only one who's been here since the beginning of the season.
Eklund consistently has created offense for a mostly punchless attack in his first full NHL season. He recently scored a hat trick, reaching the 40-point mark, becoming the second Shark to achieve this milestone.
"Eklund with the hat trick, wow, that guy is special," Cooley gushed. It's not just about the points either. All season, Eklund has shown both a defensive conscience and mental toughness.
