To me, Ekblad seems way better. He seems like he has it all and plays a little physical but more positional. The kid has a great shot and vision of the game. He may not be the fastest skater but I think his style of play makes up for it. I thought Jones was over rated, he seems like a run and gun kinda defensman. I think Ekblad wll be star defensman in only a few years in the league.

Bold prediciton.... The Flames get Ekblad with the #3 overall pick this coming draft.
