I honestly think he is masking some of Ekblad's deficiencies. Ekblad still has some really good qualities, but IMO the leg injuries have pretty much ruined his skating and playmaking ability. He's still tough and he's still smart, so they pair up well together.
I try to be even keel on Ekblad because I like the guy, but he honestly looks like a shell of himself to me most of the time.
IMO he never skated well. And he hasn’t been a threat at the point since his rookie year. Kinda crazy how far he fell in that part of his game.
