OLIVER EKMAN-LARSSON - Defenseman - $8.25MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2026-2027
LAST UPDATED 7/23/19
The face of the Coyotes franchise since Shane Doan retired, Oliver Ekman-Larsson is an elite #1 defenseman. A fantastic offensive player, Ekman-Larsson is a consistent 40 point producer with high 50's point upside. While his plus minus numbers on paper look atrocious, Ekman-Larsson is a perfect example of why +/- is a completely useless metric. Ekman-Larsson himself possesses incredible defensive instincts and can be trusted to eat tough defensive minutes and shut down top end opposing forwards. He's a leader on and off the ice, and provides incredible value as Arizona's captain. An elite, complete #1 defenseman, and given that he's under contract until 2027, Ekman-Larsson looks like a good bet to be considered, at the end of his career, the greatest player to ever don a Coyotes uniform.
