To MTL:
Aaron Ekblad
Declan Chisholm
MIN 2 2022
To VAN:
Noah Hanifin
Tyler Ennis
VAN 3 2022
Knowing this deal would be scrutinised I was extra careful trying to make it balanced and fair and this is my reasoning:
Ennis did very well on my first line last year. This year I wish to develop Thompson and that has to be on Ennis’ expense. He is way to good to be wasted on a fourth line and I wanted to use him to find a slight upgrade. Ekblad is a slight upgrade from Hanifin despite a higher salary and lower dicipline, causing a lot of penalties. Sending Ennis also saves me some salary. I think the difference between Ennis/Chisholm is bigger than Ekblad/Hanifin, hence the pick upgrade. Thx Shaun for the talks!
