We don't want Edmonton to get him and have to play against him for the next 15 years.

I don't see it happening. I think Edmonton is getting Ekblad, unless they actually show up for some games in the 2nd half. Burke can offer anything he wants, but the only player Edmonton wants is Ekblad, and i think they will match anything Burke has to offer.
Buffalo is sitting pretty if they win the draft lottery. They will have Edmonton and Calgary trying to get Ekblad. If Edmonton offers what Calgary does then Buffalo will trade with them and only move down one spot.
