Ekblad is a stud dman that every team needs to be successful, we currently do not have these going forward. We can all agree that it takes longer to develop dmen so why not take that dman this year and then look to next year where the top end talent is a lot better than this year for forwards. Seems like a no brainer to me, and hopefully Burke & Co.
By taking Ekblad this year he has one more year development ahead of our next building block in what is expected to be a very high draft pick next year and a chance at what are some very, very good centermen.
