EKHOLM
74ov. 30 years old. 2 years x $8.5
Ekholm has been a sim stud for many years, consistently ranking as one of the top defenders in the CPHL.
Last year, he was the 2nd leading scorer amongst D and the 20th highest scoring skater.
He has the 4th highest amount of assists, 5th highest shot % of
all skaters in the CPHL and was 2nd for blocked shots as well.
He's the 19th highest rated Dman. There's higher rated D who score more in the NHL but I'd argue there's not many in the sim better than Ekholm has been.
A gem and a half, this Swedish superstar is the quintessential back-end leader and a true #1 D in this league.

The goal is to not send cap with either of these but I have
some wiggle room.

What's the cost?
Picks (any year), high end prospects and/or cheaper RFA aged downgrades are the goal.
Warning: Each of these fellas will cost a lot so step your offer game up and save the low ball offers for another time. But don't be shy. Make an offer.
Hint of the day: I just gave you plenty of ammo. I'm 3.825633 times more likely to deal these guys away if you come at me with an actual/fair offer instead of a "what do you want for him".
