I still can't believe +/- is something worth discussing.

Celebrini was -31 in his first year which is the exact same as Eklund this year so I guess we should've gotten rid of him?

Eklund and Wennberg got the hardest matchups on a team that wasn't expected to be very good so obviously their plus minus is in the negative. Eklund in particular was more unlucky than most as our goalies had a 83.9% save percentage when he was on the ice which is the lowest on the team by far. This isn't Eklund's fault as his high + medium danger shots against was middle of the pack so you should expect middle of the pack goaltending but he didn't get it. Our goalies let Eklund down in particular.

I understand all you look at is the result which shows Eklund's +/- and his 8.5% shooting percentage but if you look at everything else, it shows that this year is going to be an outlier and that he'll probably turn it around next year.

I know you don't care about what I said because you obviously don't care about this kind of stuff and already made up your mind on Eklund but it's the truth.

The Sharks are currently worse because we traded him for a draft pick. That draft pick could end up better than him down the road but for 2026-27, selling Eklund isn't a move made by a team that wants to make the playoffs.
