I don't really understand why you're gloating about this and I doubt anyone would be doing the same if Ekblad had failed to make an impact and/or struggled severely.So much wrong with this post, especially everything after the first sentence, except for the 'It's very early and he looks great'. I found myself typing a whole bit, finding that I left some out, erasing, starting again…
How bout this- He ain't Huberdeau and he ain't Barkov and he ain't anyone but Aaron Ekblad…welcome to the laughed at group my dude!! Kid's only gonna get better and better, he's not a fluke, and there's easy explanations for why.
The majority of us based their opinion on history, rarely does an 18yo defenceman jump into the NHL and make an immediate impact like Ekblad has. Going with draft reports and highlight footages, without actual game footage, it's hard to grasp how ready a player is and what can be expected from that said player.
