William Eklund was demoted to the fourth line before the start of the San Jose Sharks 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Was it the right call by Head Coach David Quinn? Discuss how Eklund has struggled the last few games and why a refresh in his role was good for him. Then, examine if playing at center is the best spot for him in the long term. Next, analyze the numbers behind the Sharks’ loss and how they outplayed the Lightning for the first 40 minutes before the Lightning found their game, and review Mackenzie Blackwood’s return from injury. Finally, react to Pierre McGuire’s recent statements about the direction of the Sharks and if San Jose is indeed headed in the right direction under Mike Grier.

There’s no way we’re this bad and don’t draft Celibrini
Would love to see Eklund and Bords play on a line together before the season ends
Yes mcguire is very wrong in his analysis. In many ways.
good effort this year, build on for next year
sharp transition passing into offense zone for scoring chances? quicker shooting at net?
Said it wasn't really a demotion it was pretty much to give him some rest from playing most of the game and then burn him out when he needs the time to develop his game. He has been playing as lot and he needed the change theres no rush needed. We're good #sjsharks TheRealTeal #EmbraceTheTank #Celebrini #DoYouKnowYourWayTo S*n J**e 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
JD this is just a stupid perspective…how do we demote you!
