Yes playoff games count
The 10th game burns yr 1 of his ELC. It takes 40 games to count as a pro year for UFA purposes.

Ehlers won't play. He'll practise with the team but they won't subject him to NHL playoff games. It will be the exact same situation as it was with Petan last season in St. John's. The excuse will be that he's played a hell of a lot of hockey.

Last year for their playoff run. Or, at least there was a discussion about it. I know they sent one of the junior forwards there, but he didn't play any games.

They sent Ryan Olsen to St Johns to practice. Petan was playing a 7 game series against the Oil Kings.

Ehle should play if the Jets make the playoffs
He will bring that speed element that Kane voided not he is injuried.
He should be fine on the LW with Lowry
a cup run always needs just the rigt mixture of veterans, skilled players, great goaltending, sacrifice and a springkle of rookie(s) that can make a difference in this kind of series.

Not sure that's gonna happen, maybe if injuries force it. Putting a young player into that situation is asking a lot.
If the Jets haven't addressed their depth on the wing by the time the playoffs come, I'd say call up Ehlers for a few days of practicing with the team and then let him play the last few regular season games. Let's say 5 or so. See if he can bring something special to the team. If so, let him play the first 4 playoff games. At that point we probably have a pretty good idea if we're going anywhere in the playoffs and how important he is to our playoff run. If he gives us the depth to go deep into the playoffs, then I could live with burning a year. It won't affect his UFA status either way.
That's definitely a thrilling possibility, but let's not forget Selanne came into the league at age 22 with a man's body and 4 years of professional experience in Finland. It's also worth noting that guys like Bob Essensa were considered competent goaltenders in that era.
To me, the offence Kane provides is minimal. Probably it's the least valuable part of his game. He has an insanely low shooting %, and essentially one move when he gets the puck: charge up the left side, gain the zone, get cut off by the d-man, take a low value shot, miss the net, give up possession. He's a dynamite penalty killer however, and a big-time hitter. If Ehlers doesn't outproduce Kane offensively, you'll hear people start calling him a bust. Ehlers isn't going to be knocking guys off of any pucks. Comparing him to Kane is like comparing Enstrom to Bogo. They have 2 very different ways to contribute.
I totally forgot about this! I think it would be great if the Jets would let him play in this tourney. Ehlers and Bjorkstrand along with Eller, Boedker and Nielsen (I wonder if I'm related?) are starting to become heroes to a lot of little Danish boys, I think. Hopefully, that means another legitimate hockey country churning out prospects in the near(ish) future.
Also, seeing them take on grown men for national pride sounds like a great test for our skinny viking.

The great ones can rise to the challenge
lots of rookies gets to play in the playoff before really playing regular season games.
Jets 1.0 had such a player

Yes
there are plenty of venters playing wing.
And to my recollection lots of D men on their off side.

But what's the point of your post?
You just randomly listed 5 players, 2 are playing in the NHL and 3 are not.

I understand all that, the only player likely to be a NHL center on that list is Lowry.

Lowry is going to play center. Why would they move him now? They moved Perreault to wing to keep him at center.
I would not re-sign Slater. Frolik is probably still a Jet. Buff will play D.
3rd line of Ehlers Lowry Frolik is a possibilty. Ehlers might actually play RW on the 2nd.
Petan probably starts in the AHL maybe Morrissey too

Would the Leafs consider trading Matthews if they got a haul for him?
