Saying Ekblad doesn't think the game well is ridiculous. You don't play and excel in juniors at 15 because you are some kind of physical beast. Ekblad played 30 minutes a game last year on a team that was in game 7 of the OHL championship. I don't know if Bogosian ever even played on a junior team that made the playoffs. Bogosian was widely overrated in his draft year. He should have been been in the discussion of the top defenseman but teams decided to invent flaws on the other guys (Doughty = fat, Pietrangelo = soft) while Bogosian was the big ole rugged safe guy.
