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

I don’t know what sport you’re watching. But it isn’t hockey.

That’s like saying Mika Zibanejad is better offensively than Connor McDavid. There is no argument for it.

Ekholm will probably Be cheaper to acquire as he is older and not quite as good (still a spectacular player), but both will be incredibly expensive, and you caption and lines seem to imply they would be on the bottom pair even though Lindholm and maybe even Ekholm might just be your best blue liners, if you think they would be utilized as you have described the trade would not be worth it
