From an advanced stats perspective Ekblad has been much better the last two seasons.
He had a rough 17-18 but has been much better. Corsica hockey player ratings had him as a top 40 dman in the league last year, and a clear top pairing guy.
Still don’t love his contract but he’s not a terrible player and is better than Larsson. Would be a better option than OEL or Dumba IMO, he’s the youngest and still has the most upside.
