Brodie is a huge overpayment, especially considering we don't have much in the pipeline to replace him with. The point of acquiring Ekblad is to
add him to our pool of defencemen.
Besides, the original rumour was that Florida wanted a young
top-6 player... I'm fairly confident that would imply they're looking for a forward.
Just for discussion's sake, would anyone do 4th OA, Colorado's 2nd + Backlund for the 1st OA? If management feel Granlund, Colborne or Knight could step in & fill the void perhaps he's the type of player that makes the Panthers bite...
(For the record I'm a big Backlund fan, but for discussion's sake I think his name has to enter the mix sooner or later).
