Disagree. Eklund looked good for the NT, especially against Denmark, & Norway. The Czech game could've gone better but it's not like any forward except those on the Skellefteå line played better(one can also argue he played the best on his line, Hållander made the cut while having performed worse), and it's during that game he suffered the injury.
And just because an injury will heal by itself and isn't serious doesn't mean it won't take time. It being a hand injury means there was no chance of him playing while it heals. Sure, maybe he could've been ready to go again for potential semi finals, but, you don't do that.
