As many of us expected, Nik Ehlers is preparing to test free agency in a few weeks. While it’s disappointing, it’s understandable. Is this truly the last we’ve seen of the Great Dane in Winnipeg, or is there a chance he still returns? How does the Mitch Marner signing potentially impact the market for Ehlers? Will it reduce the number of potential competitors for Nik’s signature and make Winnipeg the best choice among the pack? Should the Jets also take advantage and go for some underrated wing depth like Mangiapane? What can Alfons Freij bring to the Jets, especially now that he’s signed his ELC?

Really going to be bummed if we lose Nik. Sucks that it’s looking like it.
Just remember Nic the grass is not always greener on the other side. You have everything in Winnipeg you need the fans. Fans love you the team loves you. Make the right decision.
It’ll be a shame if we lose Nik but I’m holding out hope he doesn’t get the offer he wants from another team and comes back
Love to see Ehlers land in OTT playing with either Cozens or Stutzle. Scary line. Although Sens owner already said they’re not spending to the cap 😕
Ehlers wants to win. That is his first priority. After that is term and salary. He gave us 10 great years, I hope for more, but I understand he must do what is best for him. No matter what, I hope he continues to be the Great Dane.
Teams I think Ehlers fits
No order
1.NYI he will get 1st line,1st pp,and play either young guys or Barzal/Horvat and good defence/Goalie.
2. SanJose
3. Anaheim
4. Chicago
5. Utah
6. Detroit
7. Montreal/Ottawa/Buffalo/NYR if clear cap.
But besides Carolina no ones really a contender but alot will have the cap to go as high as they want.
Jets treat moose as glorified junior team they arnt going have success or another bad season Driedger went KHL
They will literally have
Yager,Lambert,Julien,Zhilkin,Ford,JAD,Divincentiis,Milic,Barlow,Salmonsson,Coghlan,Wagner,Phillips,Zloty,Bauer ect While other teams don't push prospects instead give out contracts to 29+yr Olds and 2way deals where the player still gets 200k+ to play in AHL jets don't do that if a guy has AHL contract he's probably getting 50-60k Sautner types.
Moose didn't have 1 player in top 100 AHL Scoring.
Sorry guys Thats means hes gone !
