Great Article! Two players that are going to be big parts of the Islanders future success. Next year they will both be in the AHL. Eklund is a sneaky guy he will be ready sooner. He is already playing against grown men.
Could be wrong but I don't believe would have to burn the 19y/o AHL eligibility spot on Eklund since he's an international prospect. There is a scenario where both Eklund and Aitcheson are on the Bridgeport/Hamilton Islanders next season.
