He's gonna have to pay up on either Forsilng or Montour this off season (I would 100% keep Forsling), and Ekblad is already making 7.5M and will be almost 30 and most likely want something that starts at around 10M when his current deal is up.
They obv have to give us more than just Ekblad for Hanifin (signed for 8 years), but hopefully Conny flips Ekblad in the offseason for even more.
Don't get me wrong, moving Ekblad ahead of the playoffs when you're the current favourite is a ballsy move... but it's probably also the smart move too (although a bit of a dick move to Ekblad).

I thought the same thing but full NMC so no chance...
