Ekblad is not waiving to come here

Deal

If Ekblad waives his nmc/m-ntc, dont see why Ottawa would not accept this

Ekblad is the better and more coveted player, and he's only 2 years older. Would be a huge mistake to trade him and a 1st for Chychrun. Even a 1-for-1 would be highly questionable, the only reason to do that is betting on Chychrun no longer being injury-prone and being able to extend him for cheaper than Ekblad. The ask should be Chychrun+ though.

Montour will almost certainly cost 6M+, if not 7M+, to retain.
