San Jose Sharks are reassigning William Eklund to the AHL, coach David Quinn said Saturday after his team’s 4-1 loss to New York Islanders.
SAN JOSE – William Eklund is going to Loveland, Colorado next week, not Edmonton, Alberta.
Eklund, considered the Sharks’ top prospect, was recalled from the Barracuda on March 3 and had two goals and an assist in eight games, as he played exclusively inside the Sharks’ top-six forward group. Since Eklund signed his entry-level contract when he was 18, and he only played nine NHL games last season as well, his contract can slide for two seasons. Games in the AHL do not count for entry-level contract purposes.Sunday, the Sharks are leaving for a three-game road trip that starts Monday in Edmonton against the Oilers. The Barracuda’s next two games are in Colorado against the Eagles.
