It isn’t exactly a secret that things haven’t been going well for the San Jose Sharks over the last three years. It also isn’t a secret that most of the prospects who have come through the ranks have been mostly underwhelming.
But just like how the Jedi depended on a Force-sensitive boy from Tattooine to lead the charge against the Galactic Empire, the Sharks have their own sign of hope: a 19-year-old from Haninge, Sweden named William Eklund.
Following in the footsteps of his father, Christian Eklund, William played for Sweden’s Djurgardens IF, as Christian did for almost 20 years.
