Description

I don't want to give up the picks, but this is definitely something that the Caps will consider at the deadline. The left side of the defense is a pretty big question mark, especially if Kempny can't come back to full strength. Given Laviolette will already trust Ekholm immensely given their time in Nashville, I fully expect something like this to go down, whether it's the right move or not.

I don't want to get into the specifics of his value on the market, just that it would be something along the lines of a first and second round pick.

I kinda doubt Washington are big buyers at the deadline.

If it's a rental, I would think any team inquiring about Ekholm is probably interested in extending him since he is still probably a top 30 dman in the league.

Savard who is at best a #3 returned a 1st and 3rd as a rental

Sure, but can you give me an example of a guy that got the kind of return you’re suggesting?
