Yeah. People who pitch this sort of goofy speculation should stop and take a moment - maybe 10 seconds - to consider it from the other team's point of view. Why would Phoenix, undergoing a rebuild themselves, trade away a 23-year-old number one defenceman? Ekman-Larson is the core of their rebuild. It makes less sense (and is even less likely) than the Flames trading away Monahan.
