Ekholm would likely make any defenceman he's partnered with on the Oilers look fantastic. How would Ceci's stats look when paired with Ekholm?
Play Bouchard with Kulac or Nurse, not saying he'd play badly, but you'd get a more realistic metric. If Ekholm played the entire season with the Oilers he very well could have been a Norris candidate.
Legitimate top pairing but woodcroft has put them in the lineup as the 2nd pairing several times and I think once as the bottom pairing and its starting to piss me off. They need to be the sole top pairing. Do the flipping and trialing with the other two pairings but those two need to stay top pairing period
we need to Do a Petition for All Canadian Teams so there Longer Contracts who are foreigners can buy houses to have there wife kids or girlfriends Comfortable and Less pressure on them to perform so its not always in the back of there heads we stopped the foreign buyer policy due to people laundering money i dont see a professional athlete in the nhl laundering money they should be exempt if anything they got more eyes on there money and financial advisors looking after it i dont think it would be possible too many eyes i would like to see Ekholm get a House in Edmonton and Any other Oiler who has a 3 or more year contract and is Foreign national Born

is it just me or does it seem we are getting more goals from our D since Barrie was moved?

He's also freed up Nurse from having to do absolutely everything.
Darnells play since Ek showed up has been phenomenol

We got Ekholm back in a more temperate climate for a Viking!
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. 🌟
Hands up all you who were trashing the Ekholm trade when it was made… now sit down.
free-ness… freedom*

Liam good to see you on a podcast doing what you love. You were always awesome to work with at Smilies. Best of luck to ya!
Bouch still needs to work on his skating and defensive awareness imo. He's becoming a top 4dman, but I wouldn't say he's a solid top 2 dman.
