Having him on my fantasy team was a wise decision!
For the Flyers it's Sanheim, who else!

Ekblad has had an offensive resurgence no doubt..but id give it to Forsling
still averages over a minute more on EV, and half a minute on the PK. Ekblad gets all the PP time so that's why their overall TOI average is roughly the same.
Not to mention Forsling is a +20 when the next best on the team is a +9. He's still our greatest defensive presence.
That being said they are both carrying our backend hard.. cause it's a massive drop in quality after them.

Forsling is still consistently steady, but he's been a little off this season, despite having a +20. That's why I gave it to Ek, he's been great on the pp and although he isn't scoring a ton of points, he's moving the puck well and allowing the other 4 to do their jobs. A better ppqb than Monty ever was. And he's still great at ES and PK, leading the team in TOI. I have no doubt Forsling will turn it around at some point, and then the title will no doubt revert back to him.
Dude is incredible. Probably the most underrated player in the league.

I mean, the team as a whole kinda did in the road trip.

Morrissey obviously, but special shoutout to Dylan Samberg going from third pair to second pair and not missing a step.
Faber. Brodin, Spurgeon & Middleton have also been solid, but Faber clearly the alpha. Hopefully Zeev gives him a run for his $ in the coming years

Mackenzie Weegar, and it's not even close.
This guy has been stapled alongside two fringe NHL defensemen all season long (Miromanov and Hanley), and still wins his matchups with ease despite playing nearly 24 minutes a night for a not so good hockey team.
He still doesn't get the respect he deserves - and his omission from the four nations team is a good example of that.

Ekholm has been the best overall dman we've had since Pronger. Nurse having a career year himself, but the Oilers would fall apart immediately if they lost Ek for an extended period.
Don't have it on hand but our record after trading for him is stupid. Guy was a godsend and that was one of the best trades the Oilers have made all-time.

Ekholm followed closely by Nurse
Kulak, Bouchard and Emberson have been good too. Honestly almost all the D are playing great.

Here comes Skinner
Loved his game a couple weeks ago against NJ. Dude plays with an edge and brings the offense. Some team is going to step up to get him in the offseason.
