<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>i think the coaching staff disagrees with you. he plays less minutes than both forsling and montour, plays weaker competition than both forsling and montour, has worse underlying numbers than both forsling and montour, and will cost more than forsling (and maybe montour) next season.

forsling/montour is their top pair. they have traded away pending UFAs in the past to make room for other players (huberdeau and weegar) so this would be inline with that same strategy.

this way they recoup a 1st and a 4th for their 3rd most used defenseman, instead of having one of their top paring defenseman walk for free.</div></div>

Ekblad and Montour missed the first 16 games of the season. In that time Forsling was logging between 21 and 27 minutes a night for Florida. Since their returns he has clearly had the 3rd most ice time on average.

Also Forsling and Montour playing together makes a huge difference too. It means that Ekblad is always paired with their top 4's biggest liability and the guy who plays the least ice time of the 4. By default Ekblad gets less shifts for that reason alone.

I'm not saying they won't trade Ekblad but they certainly aren't going to do it for an underwhelming return that makes them a worse team in the process
