If you choose to trade Ellis over Ekholm, then getting a LHD like Sandin back doesn't make much sense when NSH has Davies and Farrance at LHD who should be in the NHL either next or the following season. NSH's LHD is deeper than their RHD depth (not saying much, but still). And Ekholm will only have the great contract for two seasons and then will need a more expensive and long-term contract at the age of 32. I also believe that Ekholm's style of play will slow him down faster than Ellis. If I have to pick one or the other, I'm picking Ellis all day. Josi - Ellis is one of the best d pairings in the NHL, and I'd want to preserve that.
