<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>They had Eklund at center for a decent chunk when Hertl and Couture both went back on LTIR after the all-star break, and Bords started the season at center. I think Bords will likely be a winger from now on, he seems much more natural there. i could see Eklund sliding to center in a year or two (especially when/if Musty and Gushchin push for top 6 LW spots, and if Smith ends up being more of a RW) but as of now he just doesn't look ready for it.</div></div>

Yeah that's a good point they've had a couple goes for sure. Eklund has definitely improved since then as well. Bords does seem like a better winger at this point, but it would be cool to see him with some more talented players as well. Definitely better not to force him into a role he's unprepared for but man the center depth would be helpful.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>poj is a very good player. he can't be in pit line up because he is an offensive Dman and we already have EK and KL. but he'd instantly play in a top 4 role imo with the sharks.

plus he still has room for improvement in his game just because of consistency of play.

and also don't add the 5th if you think it's too much, if Dubas wants AD he'll just make it happen.
considering he fleeced the sharks once don't find it hard to believe he can do it again.</div></div>

The idea is that the Sharks are likely gonna want picks and/or young prospects for Duclair. POJ will be at least 27-28 by the time the Sharks are trying to not suck. Just doesn't make a ton of sense. That 2024 2nd, on the other hand, does.

Also nothing against POJ but a ham sandwich would instantly play a top 4 role on SJ's blue line lol.

And make no mistake - in reality Mike Grier will probably trade duclair for a bag of pucks. On capfriendly we (foolishly) like to pretend like Sharks management isn't fresh out of the psych ward.
