Ekblad is exciting because drafting a blue chip on the blue line is often hard to do ...almost as bad picking great goaltenders.
It also makes picking him #1 as a bit of a risk. 2006 Draft had Eric Johnson go #1 overall ...He is a good NHL defenceman, but Toews went #4 that year.
The odds of picking a franchise player after skipping those great prospects at Center are statistically poor.
