    1 year - it's close because Faulk is usually a +/- crater, but I'll give him the edge
    keeper - Ekblad easily

    Without hits, I'm going Ekblad either way (short and long term)

    Ekblad gonna have a rebound this season if the team can stay healthy. (long term)
    Faulk (short term)
    Both will be minus but I think Faulk will be a few points ahead of Ekblad

    I like Faulk no matter the situation here. If I was a real NHL GM I might say Ekblad, but in Fantasy give me Faulk all day.

    faulk for me too. 3rd in sog among defenceman last year. he's a cog on that blueline and should eat up lots of power play time. I can see a 10 point spread in those two at season's end.

    This. I'm surprised Ekblad is getting any support here.

    Faulk 1000% for this year. And with Yandle signed for as long as he is, Faulk might be the choice for several years to come. Ekblad is very skilled, but that could work against him since Yandle cannot play tough minutes plus gives then the best chance at offense from the back-end.

    Faulk hands down this year. Ekblad maybe down the line but he would need things to happen.

    Darling should negate any +/- conversation and Faulk gets loads of top PP time with no indication of that changing, meanwhile Ekblad is behind Yandle.

    Where does Ekblad pull ahead of Faulk here?
