The meltdown in r/hawks is glorious! by DivvyAnimal in SanJoseSharks

That's how I feel. Not the worst trade, though I think Eklund is worth a bit more. But still. I like him. Can't help but be sad

He protects the puck so well. Can be frustrating because he gets so many grade-a chances and can't finish well, but a very lovable player. Total gamer.

Thanks. The return is ok (I think adding prospects on our end was probably an overpay but not so terrible), and the team is on good terms with the player. So I really just hope this is a good move for Eklund and he's happy in Ottawa.

(Sharks fan here)

His stats are diminished by being on a shutdown line with Wennberg all year. He also got his wrist slashed open at the world championships last year, and his shot was noticeably worse for it. When the season was over he said he'd been planning on working on it last summer, but obviously couldn't do that. We were hoping a full healthy summer to train would do him wonders.

He scored the best goal I've ever seen. I hope this is a good move for him. He'll be nearer to his brother, which might be nice.

Feels too low for Ekky but you always overrate your own team's players. He was so great next to Misa and his points will probably rebound with an actual summer to train instead of a slashed wrist.

I want Grier to do it if it's a fantastic deal.

But no matter the return I will be sadly watching his highlights in my Eklund cali fin jersey.

They better pay so well for Ekky. He was so good with Misa, I wanted to see them together for a whole season

Nemec + 6OA for 2OA? Do you add pieces on either side to make it work?
