William Eklund

21-Year-Old Left WingLW
San Jose Sharks
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Playing the entirety of last season at age 20, Eklund spent the majority of the year in the AHL, where he was excellent (17 goals, 41 points in 54 games). He added two goals and a helper in three games with the Sharks. The former No. 7 overall pick back in 2021, Eklund remains the most valuable long-term asset in the San Jose system outside of (2023 No. 4 overall pick) Will Smith. Eklund seems certain to grab a full-time gig for the upcoming season, making him a deep-league option in re-draft formats and a high-end asset in keeper/dynasty leagues. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Sharks in August of 2021.
Three points in OT win

December 5, 2023
Eklund tallied a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Eklund picked up assists on a pair of Tomas Hertl goals late in the third period before scoring the game-winner with just five seconds left in overtime. It's the second multi-point effort for Eklund this year -- he came into Tuesday's contest with just one point (an empty-net goal) in his previous five games. He's now up to six goals and 12 points through 26 games this season. While the 21-year-old Eklund can't be relied on to provide consistent scoring yet, the talented winger should get an extended look on San Jose's first line and top power-play unit.
