On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look deeper into another career year for Joel Eriksson Ek. We look at his improving offensive numbers despite absolute chaos in the lineup around him, and why despite all of it he continues to be one of the hardest working guys on the ice. We look at his contributions on both Special Teams units, becoming vital to the success of both units. We discuss his dip in defensive numbers and wonder if it is more related to his play or regressing linemates. We discuss his bargain contract and how he continues to exceed it every year and makes it look like a better deal every time he's on the ice. We finish by discussing whether Eriksson Ek is a top center, and even though he may not be he still absolutely is a top 2 center, which is a vital commodity for a team without a lot of true centers on the roster.
