A risk? The panthers are the ones taking the risk. But it isn't even a risk, it's just a downright dumb move.

Not that hard tbh

Jets say yes, doubt Panthers do tho

Pardon? We take a decent LD/RD punch of Morrissey and Pionk and turn it into a horrid left side? If we were to get Ekblad, it wouldn't be trading our top LD

Absolutely not

I'd think Morrissey, Niku + 1st would be my line
This is too much for Ekblad

Massive overpay for Ekblad, no thanks.

I added more to limit the amount of naysayers in the comments.

Morrissey hasn’t been the same ever since Trouba got traded

Getting Ekblad solves our RHD issue and with the logjam at LHD with Heinola, Samberg and Stanley, future is bright

Don’t care much bout the picks cause the way the roster looks should be 20-31 anyways

Imao of course

Ekblad is the last player Zito would trade, his NMC kicks in this summer. Noway he's dealt before and i doubt he'd have any interest in playing in Winnipeg anyways.

wouldnt that be the best time to deal him?

Adding Ekblad would be awesome, but that trade is way too much of an overpay. 5 picks and Morrisey? this is the type of deal that gets GM's fired. Imagine watching the draft over the next two years and seeing FLA make all these selections

It’s an overpay sure but definitely worth it

Heinola-Ekbald
Samberg-Pionk
Stanley-Demelo

5 picks, the two 1st’s sting but gonna be low picks anyways and the other 3 r a stab in the dark

1000000000% worth imo
