I'm not expecting a number this early in regards to the NHL draft, but where does he project to go? 1st round potential? 2nd, beyond?
From the sounds of it he's coming in as a high 2nd rounder but a good year in Halifax could probably propel him to top 20. Will have to wait and see him on the ice!!

Top-50 Prospect in my eyes for the upcoming draft...
Can be compared to Sven Bärtschi, as he is a feisty offensive forward, with very good foot speed and a good set of Hands. Was pencilled in to play with the EHC Biel in the NLA and already made his debut at the age of 16...

My boy finally get's a thread in Canadian side. Worst scenario he makes a point by match and get's picked in early second round. Best scenario he does like Sven Bartschi and get's a top 15 pick. His target is to pass his buddy André burakowski in the draft, little friend from a long time.

Remember Robert Burakovsky playing under coach Heinz Ehlers in Biel? Would be great if Nikolaj and André could play together once.

i do remember. crazy times. i don't want him to play for the Capitals. He's dream is to play for Dallas Stars(he's a mike modano guy). If he could be drafted by a good developing team that would be nice.
is he even going to play For the Mooseheads? Thought he was clear with staying in NLA for atleast one more year

Robert Burakovsky & Heinz Ehlers both played together in Sweden
First in Leksand and later AIK.

Oh, and Heinz Ehlers, his dad was the first ever Dane to get drafted 
Just so you guys know.
And BTW.. The mock's I have seen so far, have had him as a 1st rounder or very early 2nd round.
If he explodes in Halifax, he could go into the top 10.

I think Robert Burakowsky played under Heinz Ehlers a year in Aalborg to. Aaaaand if my memory serveces me right I think Sebastian Ehlers(brother to Nikolaj) played with André Burakowsky in Malmo a couple of years ago.

Biel coach Kevin Schläpfer confirmed Ehlers will leave Biel and join Halifax. What a pity, would have loved to see him one year more in Switzerland.

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a link, or was it a twitter release?
Also, remember this thread about Ehlers.. It has a lot of info on him.

As a Mooseheads fan, It will be interesting to see how he plays next year, hopefully with Halifax. With MacKinnon and Drouin likely not coming back, we'll have to see what happens with the forwards.
He's already opted out of his Swiss deal and will be with the Moose for sure: http://ehcb.ch/index.php?option=com...ung-kanada&catid=48:slider&Itemid=298&lang=de.

And Ehlers has been working out all summer in his parents garage.

I'm a little worried about that last tweet...I remember Radulov saying that a lot...

I guess Ehlers scoring 227 points in 127 games in the Q would be a huge disappointment for Halifax.

It seems like Ehlers has been making a good impression in the scrimmage this week. I’ll be looking forward to reports from the pre-season game Saturday.
On a Moose forum I have found this (I hope the posters don’t mind me bringing it here):

Nicolaj Ehlers: I feel bad and maybe setting a bar high for this kid by saying this but he looks like a poor mans Drouin. Skates around everyone and stick handles better then anyone on the ice. Hes a little small but he will make who ever he plays with better. That being said he is not Drouin so no one should expect a Drouin 2.0.

This is only intersquad so i'm sure he won't be so dominant in real game action but he was by far the best player on the ice for either team

Maybe it would have been better for him to stay in Biel. Playing with men in a very good league would have been good for him imo. He likely would have gotten some PP time and decent ice time as well.
I totally did NOT expect him to come over. Wouldn't he be making much more money in Switzerland?
