Ouch. He's gonna get PAID when this one is up
why is he getting a bridge deal?!???
Eklund worked Grier.
He probably refused to sign long term to a team dead set on losing for a few more years
I don’t think either wanted term, makes him an effective trade piece if needed
Should have locked him up for 8 but it's a smart business decision for Willy and his agent. Hopefully this doesn't hurt us down the line when it's time for Mack and Smith to get their raise and we gotta resign Eklund.
Grier doesn’t want to pay Eklund long term because we’re stacked up front with Mack, Will, Misa (and possibly McKenna?)
Giving him 8 years would’ve become a problem in the future when all of those guys need an extension in 3 or 4 years.
Plus Eky wasn’t a Grier pick, so he has no strings attached
I think the sharks are going to have to show something with their young talent before players want to sign here.
