Reply With QuoteWe'll see what the deal ends up being but this is the type of Dman the Oilers need and can afford. Karlsson was a pipe dream and it sounds like Arizona wants a lot still for Chychrun and may not want to retain.
Excited to see the details of this.

Holy crap this is amazing.
Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers
This is the first time I can recall Edmonton making a legitimately smart move. Damn. Honestly doesn't matter what they gave up.

Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers
Like it for Edmonton. There’s the shutdown type of Dman they needed. Has a bit of touch too. Gimme the playoffs tomorrow.
Call me old one more time.

Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers
Ekholm + 6 for Barrie, Schaefer, 1, 4.
Edmonton banking on Bouchard being ready to go.
Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers
Whenever Josi was out, Ekholm stepped up his production.
He might just be the PP1 replacement.
Addition through subtraction here too. Barrie is not a good defender.
Ceci still needs to slot down to 3rd pair.

Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers
PP1 will be Bouchard, at least to start. Bouchard has stuggled this year but now he is getting a huge opportunity. I even Nurse getting more PP time than Ekholm would.
Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers for Barrie, 1st +
This is definitely pickup Bouchard territory, potential league winner if sitting on the wire
I just hope he's able to increase his shot blocks back to last season's level of about 1.5 per game. Right now hes sitting around 1.0 but i attribute that mostly to a reduction in ice time
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Re: [TRADE] Ekholm to Oilers for Barrie, 1st +
Preds are retaining FOUR - 4% - PERCENT of Ekholm's contract.
