On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we hand out expectations for Joel Eriksson Ek for the 2023-24 season! We recap a 2022-23 season that saw a dip in numbers in a few areas, which can be attributed to absolute line chaos going on in the early part of the year. Eriksson Ek did continue a trend of improvement in many other areas, and finished the year strong with Matt Boldy and Marcus Johansson as linemates. We look at whether or not Eriksson Ek can continue his improvement on offense with more line stability, and we finish by looking at the areas that Joel Eriksson Ek can excel at this year. We also discuss why Eriksson Ek can be a leader for younger players on the team and why they should emulate how he carries himself on the ice.
