## Resource

Mattias Ekholm’s return to the Oilers in 2023 turned into a blue-line revolution, instantly pairing with Evan Bouchard to fuel an 18-2-1 start and earn second in NHL plus-minus. A groin injury derailed his playoff form last year, but he rebounded explosively this season — skating sharper, driving play, and even scoring his first career hat trick. Healthy for all 82 games and representing Sweden internationally, Ekholm’s durability shines, even as his contract drops to $4M and his age (36) raises questions about longevity and whether young players like Jake Walman are ready to step up.
