The newest member of the Winnipeg Jets: Nikolaj Ehlers

With the 9th overall pick the Jets select Nikolaj Ehlers

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Freaking love this pick.

Guy is so underrated defensively as well, suffocates you with back pressure.

 

[jetsfan8]

chevy you are a joke
nik ritchie was availible and you passed?
ad you passed on james neal?

fire this guy!

 

[Grind]

I just finished Karate Kicking around my living room.


ABsolutely **** YEAH>>> YEAHHHHH!

 

[Bagge]

Congratulations...great pick

 

[sepHF]

Nice pick, Ehlers is a great kid.

 

[GoldenJet89]

Super pumped for Ehlers. Think he is going to bring a lot of high end offensive capabilities to this team going forward.

 

[StronGeer]

Awesome. Didn't think he'd make it to us, or even past Carolina.

Great stuff. A bit of a further out prospect, but will be a steal if he makes it.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

The new Teemu Selanne

 

[Guerzy]

Love it. Adding a talent like Ehlers is just awesome.

chevy you are a joke
nik ritchie was availible and you passed?
ad you passed on james neal?

fire this guy!

What is wrong with you? Nikolaj Ehlers is all skill ranked in the same position as Ritchie with some saying Ritchie, some saying Ehlers! I love this pick! Great birthday present for myself!

 

[JetsFan815]

Great pick esp considering how well his fellow countryman and similar last name Lars Eller plays against us

 

[razorsedge]

Nice pick, Ehlers is a great kid.

And he's from Denmark!!!

Now that "Jets hate Europeans" thread can die. Forever.

 

[cbcwpg]

Would most expect him to be back in Halifax next season?

 

[CorgisPer60]

Out of all the players that may have been available at 9, I wanted Ehlers the most. So happy.

fire this guy!

What do you like about Ritchie over Ehlers? Size?

 

[jigglysquishy]

I would love if he can make the team in the fall. .

 

[Sweech]

Yes!

Now each of my favourite teams will have a super skilled Dane - Tottenham has Christian Eriksen and the Jets have Nikolaj Ehlers.

 

[JC Numminen]

Absolutely love it

Ladd, Kane and Ehlers on the left side for years to come? Awesome.

 

[CorgisPer60]

What do you like about Ritchie over Ehlers? Size?

I prefer to think he's using sarcasm.

 

[JC Numminen]

What do you like about Ritchie over Ehlers? Size?

6'0 is nothing bad at all. Average size.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Love love love this pick....to see him and Nic Petan together in a season or two....my freakin God.....

 

[cbcwpg]

Do most feel he will be back in Halifax next season?

 

[Sweech]

6'0 is nothing bad at all. Average size.

I thought Ehlers was 5'10"
