It is basically a duplicate of the "trade for first" question. Unlike Seth Jones, Ekblad has been in the conversation for first overall since before his draft year. Now that the draft is nearly upon us, I doubt Ekblad will pull a Jones and drop to us in fourth because Ekblad has always been considered better than Jones.
Either we trade to acquire Ekblad or we hope and pray that he drops but with the understanding that he will not.
