Our second plus 4 is too much as it seems there are some really nice d-men in our second pick range.

I disagree. I would do it in a heartbeat.
Even though some are saying that Ekblad may not be a franchise defenceman, and his ceiling maybe a #2 defenceman that is no reason not to acquire him.
When is the next time we will get a chance to get a 6'4" defenceman that can play a 200ft game? How much does it take to get that player via trade?
How much does it cost to get that player via free agency?
This is still a top end defenceman, and if we have to trade the 34th pick to get that player, it is totally worth it.
