Ekholm has been on a steal of a deal for awhile now. He's going to be looking for a big contract. I doubt you'll get him at 5.75.

Players leave in ufa, that’s how it works. What would you expect to get for something you don’t own.

Isn't absurd to say "Lose a good player for nothing", but then you went signed three UFAs....acquiring players for nothing?

Every team loses 3 players a year as UFAs, what makes the Leafs unique thinking they are going to the only team trading their UFAs before the TDL?

Hes gonna be 32 so not many teams will want to commit significant money and term to him as at some point he will drop off.
