Eklund is almost definitely making the team.

I would have Eklund at the 2nd line LW

Unfortunately i don’t really see a spot for Gregor. I like him and think he’s pretty underrated but it’s a waste for him to be on the 4th line and I don’t see any room for him in the top 9.

I’d also swap Sturm and Bonino & Nut and Ben

Honestly wouldn’t be so sure about that. He didn’t exactly blow it up last season in Djurgardens and Grier added a lot of veteran depth. Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see Eklund in the AHL instead of forced into a level he’s not likely ready for (like so many players last season).

Raymond, Zibanjad and Karlsson also had very underwhelming seasons in their draft plus one years. I guess you don't know much about that Djurgarden team. They went thru 3 coaches and a new GM last year and Eklund played 3C with bad players never getting consistent linemates.. You should really read up on that coupled with the fact that the SHL is not a high scoring league. Raymond, Zibby and EK65 turned out pretty well after those seasons in the SHL...yea
