Scouting Report
Over the last two seasons, only Roman Josi has logged more minutes than Ekholm in Nashville. He starts the majority of his shifts in the defensive zones and ends them by getting pucks out and into the offensive zone, which is exactly what you want in a defensive defenseman. He does contribute offensively, doing well at getting shots through from the blueline, which create rebounds and second-chance opportunities for his teammates.
Ekholm does not fall into the ‘puck mover’ category. He can use his 6-foot-4 frame to shield the puck from attacks and make simple, five or 10-foot plays with the puck, but he lacks the deception to find teammates through attacking layers.Potential Fits: The Oilers are looking for a left-shooting defenseman to round out their roster into a true Stanley Cup contender. Ekholm has the size and ability to be a steadying influence.
