Pronman had him as the top 3 college/European free agent.

I likeEklind. Dude isnt going to be a superstar or anything but he’s a big boy that plays the dirty areas and is good in front of the net. Basically a less talented Wayne Simmonds in his style and play
Would love to see him park his big butt in front of the net on the fourth line with Hathaway and Cates and let them just pester the shit out of teams

I believe the picture is of some other guy…. Oscar Eklind is a 98 birth year which means he probably never used that helmet nor gloves with the RBK logo for the national team in any way since Reebok changed to CCM in 2015 and Eklind did not represent Sweden until he was U20 in 17/18… He also never played for Djurgården who have their logo on the cuff
I’ve tried to find out who it is and my best guess would be Fredrik Claesson or Oscar Engsund who both wore #6 for the Swedish u20 in their respective years

Errr… I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. He’s shown flashes of brilliance, but is nowhere near NHL-level. Either that or he got wind of a new contact and stopped giving a fuck halfway through the season.

FUCKIN
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Boys go get some beers it’s time to lock the fuck in
He good?
Guy is huge. Could be a great depth piece
any relation to Jan Erik Eklind?
Zero risk. Can’t be worse than Deslauriers.
Now just don’t forget to actually play him.

Hope he’s ready to punch Rempe.

Saw someone post his page from another site that doesn’t seem have correct height/weight (at least not in lbs or feet)
Who dat
Dear Eklind,
Please be a hybrid of Lindros and Pelle Elkund
