Observations:

March 2013 - Ekholm's offensive game has slowed down, but his size will see to it that he will be an NHLer. With quality puck-movers ahead of him in Nashville, that may be all that Nashville is looking for, despite his offensive skills. - Dobber

May, 2012 – Ekholm has good size but needs to use it more effectively. Ekholm has no glaring weakness but doesn’t posses any high-end skills either, playing a simple two-way game. With the depth on defense in Nashville there isn’t a lot of room for Ekholm at this point. Ekholm has made strides in his development recently winning the Elitserien Rookie of the Year award. - Ryan Goddard

Fantasy Outlook: C+

Ekholm is a two-way defenseman with good upside.
