San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier reported that forward William Eklund is recovering from wrist surgery after being injured by an opponent's skate during an exhibition match. Although Eklund will miss the upcoming IIHF World Championships, he is in good spirits and recovering well. As he enters the final year of his entry-level contract, the Sharks might explore extending his contract in July. Grier indicated that they could pursue either a long-term deal or a shorter bridge contract based on salary cap dynamics.
Eklund is recovering from surgery on an accidental wrist injury suffered in an exhibition game. Sharks GM Mike Grier believes it could have been much worse.
Grier mentioned Eklund is entering the last year of his entry-level contract, and there's a possibility the Sharks may seek a contract extension this summer.
The Sharks could agree to either a long-term contract or a short bridge deal for Eklund, depending on salary cap considerations and his performance.
