The New York Islanders are cautious about rushing their prospects, particularly Victor Eklund, as they prepare for training camp amidst a competitive depth chart. Eklund, who recently practiced with Djurgårdens, needs to prove himself to secure a roster spot, while his development is prioritized. His performance could parallel that of Cal Ritchie, who excelled last season, and the Islanders are focused on maximizing Eklund’s potential. With a need for effective net-front play following Anders Lee’s exit, Eklund’s growth will be closely monitored in the coming months.
