Just look at that poke check he did after shooting the puck (against Seattle in case you read this in the future). He knocked it to McDavid who got it to Kane who scored. Connor's reaction to Eckholm says it all. You should look at it.
Ekholm can move the puck and can defend as good or better. But I would take a Larsson at $4M and Ek at $6M. That would be awesome. Both great dudes…Cheers
Ekholm is starting to look like the next Chris Pronger for Edmonton… thats how impressive he's been so far… if Ekholm can play a Full season like he's been playing for the Oilers so far and keep it up he'd be a Norris Favorite.
Ekholm is slightly bigger than Adam Larsson, with a little less meaness using the stick, but has a bit of peak Duncan Keith mixed in. He's a legit top pairing Dman at his prime. Holland rightly paid such a high price for him, because we're in win-now mode.

Without any doubt, Ekholm is better than Larson. In addition, he doesn't take stupid penalties.
We do😂🇨🇦
The glue we needed🎯🇨🇦
Ekholms is stronger, bigger, faster, smarter, and better at hockey than Larsson
Wow. Finally a good take from the hockey normies.

A small sample size but dam! It’s been super sized way better than Larson.
For sure Ekholm is better, however, I would have loved to have kept Larson and had them both at this stage of the game.

Hand down…Larson not even in Ekholm league…by far Mattias Ekholm more polish of good d man than Adam larson n Ekholm score goals …Larson can't….
Yet these guys hated the trade when it first happened
Yes and not one Oiler fan ever uttered his name a month ago.
