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.

Plus his entire career he's been used to his forwards coming back across the centre red line.
