A team like the Stars and 'Canes cannot consider Ekblad at all.
The Sharks can go for either Ekblad or Andersson, but in an Andersson trade the Sharks could try to get D prospects that they need too.
Mammoth and CBJ have cap space to spare but could also benefit from a cheap Andersson if they want to make other moves like chasing Marner.

I also wonder if some teams are weary of Ekblad using, and being suspended for using PEDs. Maybe most athletes use them, and Ekblad just got caught, but that's a big question mark IMO.
