But those very same qualities make Ekholm more expensive to acquire. You pays your money, you takes your chances.

Lindholm is the far better defensive player. Not saying ekholm is bad defensively or anything, but lindholm is a defensive juggernaut.

Can’t say I agree that Ekholm > Lindholm on defence. I would have to say the opposite.

However, I’d still probably trade for Ekholm over him, because of the extra $1.5M
