Ekholm

Harris is going back for his senior year and could choose any team he wants after next year. Yea you might wanna choose another prospect

Maybe he doesn’t sign, however when Harris was asked exactly that question last week he only sang the praises of the Habs. With a resetting Preds team he’ll have an even better chance of joining the NHL sooner rather then later.

I’ve also tweaked the lines and D pairings a bit. Armia looked great with Tuna and Danault. Gally would really spark Suzuki and Drouin and create more space for them, and KK with the studs could be lethal. They’d also have the best 4th line in the division by a long shot. Ekholm and Weber would be an ideal match, and the other 2 pairs have already proven chemistry. Chiarot can take his time healing and slot into Kulak’s spot next to Romanov when ready. Looking at the Kraken expansion draft the 3 protected D could be Petry, Ekholm and Edmudsson. Weber’s and Chiarot’s cap hits would be too much to take on for the Kraken, or they can expose Evans and protect Weber now by going the 8F/D route.

In fact, that price is so steep that I wouldn’t even include Harris. MB would be overpaying quite a bit. A more prudent trade would be for a solid D on an smaller expiring contract. A Jon Merrill type.
