Detroit seems to be imploding, surprisingly. I'm legitimately shocked that the Yzerplan has gone so poorly there, considering he built the Tampa juggernaut.

That said, with Ekholm starting to get a little longer in the tooth (yet playing well so far this season), do the Oilers try to make a play for a long-term #2 to play alongside Bouch? Edvinsson is 6' 6", enormous reach, decent wheels, good outlet pass, and seems to be pretty decent positionally. +12 in the last two seasons each, while playing most of the games. Could he be a gamble that might be worth it? Swedish D are always a valuable commodity, and they seem to think the game well on the whole.

Decent point producer, however he wouldn't need to be on this team.

Thoughts?
