3 years agoThe Vancouver Canucks acquired veteran Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a multi-player trade on Friday. The 30-year-old veteran has played 11 years in the NHL — all with the Phoenix/Arizona organization up until now. Known for having some offensive abilities, Ekman-Larsson has surpassed the 40-point mark five times in his career. Last season, he scored three goals and added 21 assists in 46 games. Advanced metrics are not fond of the former Coyote and he's struggled with puck possession in recent years. He's signed through the 2026-27 season with a cap hit of $8.25 million although the Coyotes are retaining just under $1 million per year. Ekman-Larsson has modest fantasy value but he deserves extra attention in leagues that reward shots and hits.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
