Imagine going from Roman Josi to Darnell Nurse as your linemate. RIP Ekholm.
Ekholm has been a great defenseman for years. But he's a Robyn Regehr type where the mileage is a lot for a near 33 year old. He's definitely lost a step. I think he's going to struggle in the Oilers pond hockey, fly the zone mentality and struggle to adapt.
