The Ellis move is very risky. Coming off surgery, and really handicapping the team cap wise for years to come. I would way rather have Ekholm right now. That way the Leafs could still have a semi-active offseason - hoping that Freddie walks and we get an Antti Raanta or a James Reimer to platoon with Campbell. Mikhail Granlund simply isn't good anymore, and I would be very sceptical about giving up much for him. Jarnkrok is much better and cheaper financially. Although Ekholm and Forsberg draw more value, with salary retention, the team would be much better off as opposed to allocating 6.5+ million to another player over a long term. Leafs could end up like SJ if we continue to act that way.
