  1. Imagine if Adam Larson was still here along with Ekholm … teams would hate to play the oilers !!!!

    Let's Go OILERS Let's Go!! This is Oil Country!!!

  4. Please be Aware Nurse lays in Crease like a log 🪵 be careful 🛑 🦺 do not trip on 9mil Log Man.

    Line 1 Ekholm Ekholm
    Line 2 Ceci Bouchard
    Line 3 Broberg Kulak

    Nurse 🪵 on waivers.
    Move him for Chychuryn. Hire Byfuglien as defensive consultant.

  5. He looks bummed. I doubt he wanted to move to canada and he knows what's coming. A bunch of defemsively inept one way players in front of him.

  6. Great job and welcome to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada!

    On a side note, when playing a 'fantasy draft' via a popular NHL video game, i always draft Mattias! …the odds 🙂

  7. Love seeing the family side if Matias…you and your family will like Edmonton because it is a family oriented city and our hockey players are really loved in this city!j

  8. Happy to have you on board Ekholm cant wait to see you on the ice
    Best part is no longer having to defend against connor lol anyways welcome to oil country Mattias

  9. Seems like a smart and mature veteran, i think hell be one of the better d we’ve seen in years

  10. Getting harder and harder for all the Holland h8ers to say much it seems)

  11. Hypeee lesss go so excited for him to be oiler!! On a side note really tough to see Barrie go wishing home the best in Nashville

  12. Loved his response to Spector asking about being a leader off the ice. Plus he’s a GREAT role model for Broberg! Tough to see Barrie go, but this guy is better defensively and a big man that’s built for the playoffs. Can’t wait to see him in the lineup against TO

  13. Welcome to Edmonton , you will love the city especially the River Valley in Spring and Summer,have you ever heard of Moma2? I hope they gave you a little advice on what to expect coming to Edmonton they say the water is really special in Edmonton. Good luck hope you win lots with the Oilers. Go Oilers !!!!

  14. Iv followed preds a long time and i liked Ekholm when he came up as a d man but under hynes he has been very mediocre. He seems to stumble with his balance and complains on the ref. He is abit overrated now cus his best years were with sunnan and those are long gone.

  15. The defense on this team is instantaneously better. Sucks to lose Barrie but the mission right now is to keep pucks out of the net and this guy will help with that.

  16. Welcome to Edmonton Big fella……..may all your Stanley Cup aspirations come true……….with orange and bluuuuuuuuuuue.

  17. I just listened to Button talk about the oil should have grabbed Chychrun instead totally disagree! Ekholm is exactly what the oil have been missing would have liked to keep Barrie but this is a win!
