Stamkos+Hedman were generally signed cheaper than I expected.

It's better only because of having more UFA years purchased at that price. Ekblad has done more early on than Hedman did. Bang for buck, I think Ekblad's deal will be better in the future.
Both are extremely good defensemen. Hedman is a better playmaker, but Ekblad is the better goal scorer and defender. It'd be fun to see them play as partners at some point.
