What Could Eklund Extension Look Like?

5 days ago | sanjosehockeynow.com | Sheng Peng

What kind of extension should the San Jose Sharks offer William Eklund? Eklund is eligible for an extension on Jul. 1. It’s worth noting, the 22-year-old winger is not a free agent this summer. His entry-level contract expires after 2025-26, that’s when he’ll be an RFA. That means a potential Eklund extension kicks in during 2026-27. The 2021 No. 7 pick made his San Jose Sharks’ debut that October but didn’t become a full-time NHL’er until 2023-24.

Where would Matthew Schaefer and Michael Misa go in the 2023 and 2024 Drafts? It’s an interesting hypothetical for the San Jose Sharks, who own the No. 2 pick in the 2025 Draft. Schaefer is the consensus top defenseman and first-overall, Misa is the consensus top forward. The NHL scout who recently spoke with San Jose Hockey Now about seven possibilities at No. 2 for the San Jose Sharks shared his thoughts.

Dickinson’s Challenge: How Hard Is It for 19-Year-Old D-Man To Be Full-Time NHL’er? (+)

1 week ago | sanjosehockeynow.com | Sheng Peng

Next season, Sam Dickinson will be trying to do something that a San Jose Sharks defenseman hasn’t done in a long time. The 2024 No. 11 pick, who will be a 19-year-old defenseman in his D+2 year, will be looking to establish himself as a full-time NHL’er. It’s no small feat. In San Jose Sharks history, there have been only three such blueliners (30-plus games played).

Noesen, Chatfield & Kochetkov on How Warsofsky Impacted Their Careers, Why He’s Good Fit for Sharks (+)

Ryan Warsofsky is a winner. That might have been hard to tell the last three years with the San Jose Sharks, two years as an assistant coach, this past season as the youngest head coach in the NHL, all well out of the playoffs. But the 37-year-old has just led Team USA to its first stand-alone World Championships gold in 92 years, topping Switzerland on Sunday. For Warsofsky, winning has come by the rule of three. In 2019, Warsofsky won the Calder Cup as Charlotte Checkers assistant coach.

Ryan Warsofsky has made history.

USA will take on Switzerland for the gold medal at Avicii Arena on Sunday at 11:20 AM PT. This could be USA’s first stand-alone World Championships gold since 1933. From 1924 to 1968, Olympic gold medals also doubled as World Championships gold, so USA did score double hockey gold in 1960.
Trade Up or Down? What Can Sharks Get for No. 2 Pick? (+)

2 weeks ago | sanjosehockeynow.com | Sheng Peng

The No. 1 pick has been traded before, but not for a long time. Same goes for the No. 2 selection. So chances are, the San Jose Sharks are going to make the second-overall pick of the 2025 Draft. But what might it cost the Sharks to acquire the No. 1 selection from the New York Islanders? And what could they get if they trade down from No. 2? It’s actually been over two decades since either the first-overall or second was dealt post-Draft Lottery.
