I’ve got a lot of time for Eklund, but most do. He’s a 2006 who played 30 pro games in the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan two years ago, registering 10 points and looking like he belonged. He then took another step last season, producing regularly at the pro level on a Djurgarden team that earned promotion into the SHL and impressing as one of Sweden’s better forwards at the World Juniors. He also stood out on a team that needed him to be an impactful top-six player as a 2025 draft-eligible at U18 worlds two years ago and had a strong World Junior Summer Showcase leading into the season.
