The Nikolaj Ehlers saga has finally concluded, with Ehlers opting to move south to the Carolina Hurricanes. What was his impact in his time with Winnipeg? Despite being underutilized, should we still expect the Jets to feel the impact of his departure? Who might be prepared to fill his quick boots? Should the Jets be aggressive on the trade market this year, or will be prices be too high? Might the Manitoba Moose be the best hockey show in Winnipeg to watch this season?

The Jets lost their best 5v5 player by a wide margin. He was one-man zone entry. And for everyone saying he never broke 70 points, he was never given point-producing center to play with for most of his time with the Jets. Some of his best production came when he played with Scheifele during the time Connor was injured, as the top line was rolling at 5v5. But of course, Connor came back, and they moved away from what was working to put Connor and Scheifele back together.
And with the way Ehlers kept getting shafted on this team, I'm happy to see him get a chance to play on a team that needs his speed and will properly deploy him in big roles. And yes, with a rising cap, he was worth $8.5M. And perhaps if Chevy had made the effort to get him a legit 2C to play with, he would have re-signed.
I’m hearing Montreal are willing to dump Laine for peanuts 🤔
The Jets are a win now team !!
Harrison: You said the Jets overhauling their core isn't what people want to hear. If the Jets overhaul their core I will I will be extremely happy. In fact I would be happy with a total rebuild.
I think they will wait see what Samberg/Villardi get and go after that.
I still think rakell is perfect fit and 5m 2yrs.
Connor Scheifele Villardi
Perfetti Rakell Nyquist
Nino Toews Chibrikov
Iafallo Namestnikov Pearson
Until Lowry returns and last depth spots be fought over by Barron,Gus,Yager,Ford,JAD and New guys
If you need cap room Barron imo can be replaced by new guys they signed and on D Stanley makes 1.5m.
IT'S ALLL HELLEBUYCK HE IS THE TEAM FACT!
Happy he’s gone. NO it’s not finding a replacement, it’s a chance to gain a more complete forward who can score and is defensively sound. Ehlers was not defensively consistent. Time to focus on size a d grit for the playoffs
I am not a fan but I support the Jets and if they can make a cup run I would give them my support.
What I see is a weak right wing .There are a couple options.Josh Anderson or Tyler Toffoli.And a left wing through a trade.Two middle six players that can play second or third line.Toffoli is signed for 4 or 5 years so probably Josh Anderson.
