Further to this, it’s looking like it’s unlikely that Ekblad gets moved. Preliminary discussions on his extension have begun.
As for the others, they’ve been qualified, so they won’t be heading to free agency, obviously. But contract talks won’t happen until after the draft with them. The only other RFA that’s received a formal offer, as there are no plans to move him, is Jimmy Schuldt.
Otherwise, keep up the rabid talks, you hounds! And yes, Sebastian Aho is available. Keep up the PMs on him.
