seems like Ekholm is our move. replaces Muzzin and then some. wouldn't be a rental, and we can probably get retention. Trick will be doing it without giving up Knies, which we shouldn't for a 33 year old player.
Naturally any trade for an upgrade will appeal to my emotional side because it should add to our chances to win, but objectively I really don’t want to see an Ekholm deal. We don’t need D, and we don’t need older D, and definitely not one we have to pay a great young D plus more to get. This trade would be short sighted and fucking stupid. Please don’t let it happen. Go for a forward.
