Sharks send pair of top prospects down to AHL

Forwards Thomas Bordeleau and William Eklund were sent down to the San Jose Barracuda, even after impressing during the preseason.

Bordeleau and Eklund both had solid auditions last season as Bordeleau tallied five assists in eight games, along with Eklund's four assists in nine games.

The Sharks seem to be tanking for Connor Bedard, as are many other NHL teams. It seemed that the two youngsters could have provided a huge spark in the bottom six, but now the Sharks will continue to have one of the worst bottom-six groups in the league. Eklund and Bordeleau are primed to have breakout years in the AHL if they can replicate their preseason success.
