LeBrun: Jets listening to offers on Ehlers (Mod warning post 504)

LeBrun Notebook: Lack of comparables make Jordan...

• A few sources have suggested the cap-crunched Jets are listening to offers on Nikolaj Ehlers, among others. The speedy winger, 23, has six more years on his deal at a $6-million cap hit. I would think if Winnipeg did move him it would be for a defenceman so they could protect themselves against a trade of Jacob Trouba and potentially losing Tyler Myers to free agency.

I'd be surprised if he was moved

Would love for the Avs to add him, but doubt the Jets would think of moving him to a divisional rival.

 

[CupInSIX]

Yes. Trade Ehlers to make room for Myers' new contract...

 

[koth]

Nooooooo

 

[IslandersFan17]

Absolutely would love for the Islanders to be in on Ehlers.

 

[Love]

I’d love to have him on the Canucks but there would be tons of interest around the league. In any case I doubt he’s moved at all.

 

[TT1]

Damn, i hope we do something around Drouin+ for Ehlers . Please.....

 

[Jetabre]

Well everyone is available for the right price...Price for Ehlers better be pretty darn steep though. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to trade off a player that is locked up on a good contract through his prime years.

Suzuki + 15AO for ehlers?
or If habs can sign EK65, Petry +?
who says no?

 

[Trxjw]

Excellent player. Would love to add him to the Rangers core but wince at what it would cost.

I say go to bed

 

[BatVader]

I’m assuming this means it’s likely Myers doesn’t stay

jets probably dont want futures for ehlers, 2nd offer is awful.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Seabrook gets it done

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Matheson + Heponiemi

Ehlers

Not sure right now is the best time to be looking at moving Ehlers. Coming off a down year, and signed long-term on a fairly cheap 6M deal (with the way contracts are going now) I think they'd be better off keeping him and hoping he bounces back to his usual 60P self. Maybe then you trade him next summer if you really need the cap space.

they want to free up some cap space to sign Laine/Connor
They will need ELC players.
For the second offer, its not that awful, Petry has a good contract, played a top pair role this season and last one and thrived.
You guys will need to fill the hole trouba will make when he's gonna leave. I just dont know what the plus would need to be. maybe lehkonen and a pick?

 

[DashingDane]

I hope they trade him as Paul Maurice has zero clue how to use him. Would love to see him on a team where he got consistent opportunity.

petry will turn 32 this year and has 2 years left. ehlers is 23 and has 6 years left. that second offer is putrid. don't be a homer.

 

[Calad]

If the Rangers don't have any targets available at 20... Kreider at 50% and 20 for Ehlers? If not interested in 20, perhaps Lias Andersson instead?

 

[DashingDane]

Jets main priority will be bringing in a defender to take over from Trouba. So any offer should probably include a strong youngish defender for it to make sense. Alternatively they would need a young C2.

 

[jgimp]

Absolutely would love for the Islanders to be in Ehlers.

Hello Dobson!

Trouba + Ehlers for Hall + Vatanen + 55 OA
