Agreed. That wasn't a great option last year because there was such a gap between the top dman and the 2nd (Mrtka).
But that still won't solve things fast enough. They are moving towards opening their contention window. I don't know they'll get a guy that can help them in the next 1-2 years in this draft. So I suspect they'll be active on the trade and free agency front to address. I wouldn't be surprised if Eklund emerges as a trade chip to get a D in the off-season.
