That's Soderberg though, last year he was playing wing and he's a big bodied battler at the net and boards.
more of an average 3rd liner. if you dont want him thats fine. but he doesnt have negative value. i'll happily keep him if there isnt interest.
When did he get relegated to the fourth line? His versitility allows him to play any forward position up and down the line up.
The blueprint that keeps getting batted around for Ekholm is the Muzzin trade as the last similar calibre Dman traded, a 1st + two B+ prospects kind of thing. The market always determines the premium but it looks like a buyer's market this year
I don’t think Nashville is as willing to trade Ekholm as LA was with Muzzin. And Ekholm is a better player anyways.
Very similar players, and you may be right about Nashville holding onto him, things look different for them now than they did a couple of weeks ago
why on earth would the leafs do that, those two would not be starters on the leafs lineup.......
