William Eklund is entering his 5th season in the Sharks organization, and for what will likely be his 3rd season as a full-time NHL player, and his last season on his ELC, before his 3-year $5.6 AAV contract kicks in. A fair price for the Swedish winger who took his game to the next step by scoring a career high 58 points last season. But what does he need to do next season to take his game to the next level?
According to Eklund, in a recent interview with John Scott on the Dropping the Gloves Podcast, he mentioned that a key area for improvement was his shot, an area he has improved over his time in the NHL.
