By Dakota Case -
This trade only makes sense if Fletcher's plan is to grab Ekblad. Sending Zucker, Backstrom, Dumba and the 18th overall pick for first overall and maybe a third or fourth round pick should be fair compensation, and it doesn't hurt the team's chances of winning now, either. Minnesota receives a potential franchise No. 1 defenseman and Florida sits pretty happy with a capable backup, a potential top-6 forward, a solid top-4 defensive prospect and likely another potential top-6 forward with the 18th overall pick. Everyone leaves happy.
