Its actually a steal for Eklund. The sharks benefit from a long term deal not a short one.
Yes a long term deal would have been better. The sharks have so much cap space that they could afford to pick up at least one long term deal. Would like to see them pick up someone to flip at the deadline but most of the talent has been taken at this point. Thank you for your coverage. P.S. if you need to get into contact with Max Miller, I grew up playing hockey with him and could get you into contact if you haven't already.
According to hockey reference no one has worn 77 for the Sharks! Misa will be the first!
Love the outro line keep your stick on the ice
Nice coverage. Keep it up!
Bring back gadjovich,
I'm sure the Sharks would have preferred the 8 year deal.
I'd guess the per season, for an 8 year, has a bit of a gap between expectations.
Eklund could have also taken less than he's worth intentionally, but with the shorter contract he should be in his prime when the next contract comes along. That could be a lot more money over 11 years than if he had signed an 8 year extension today.
He might have also taken less, so the Sharks can be collectively stronger.
I'd say this is the opposite of a steal. If he has 3 seasons of 70+ points he could easily demand 8×10 in his next contract. That would make things very tight. Especially as Celebrini/Smith would command a higher price than Ekky.
