It really bothers me that you wrote out first and third, but used the number for 2nd.I’d offer a first 2nd and a third from the Habs with Harris and Hillis .

I'm more amused by the " ain't what he used to be " line.Ah, the time honored tradition of trade negging. Where would we be without it?
1st+Vesalainen for Ekholm+2nd and you got yourself a deal, my man.
Agree with this.For Jets fans on here, how do you see this working out for us? Who do you expose in the expansion draft to protect Ekholm? I assume DeMelo.
We give up 1st + Vesalainen (who was a 1st round pick) + something else to win the bidding war. Then we lose DeMelo in the expansion draft. In return we get Ekholm for 1 year and 1 playoff run + Harkins not being taken in the expansion draft.
Ekholm has to quarantine for 2 weeks, then get his fitness back up to speed without getting injured like PLD did, and then learn our systems in the last 4-5 games before the playoffs start this year.
So our Left D is better, but our Right D is worse. We have high end Left D prospects that are nearly ready (or already ready) but we don't have much in the pipeline for RD.
For me I'm out on trading our 1st, Heinola, Samberg or Perfetti so Ekholm is a pass for me. Just wondering longer term how others see this playing out? Or is the idea we win the cup this year while I can't watch playoffs in person, nor celebrate at a parade, etc and we just figure the rest out later.
So trade for him two weeks earlier? It’s not like he’s a pure rental he’s got another year on his contract in what will likely be a full season this time. Missing out on around 6-8 games ain’t much compared to the 100+ he’d still be there for. It’s not like that pick or prospect is even providing any value to the jets during the season so what does the two week period matter?Lol. Yes. Cuz ppl on here are GMs. The reality is Ekholm would sit for 2 weeks. 2nd this year plus a Vesalainen would likely be max. No cdn team gonna give up 1st and top prospects for a dude who will have to quarantine for 2 weeks. Ppl always overrated their players on here. You are also. Ekholm ain't what he used to be
