Ehler's looks like Magic to me- he can do it all. He's
fast, can lead a rush, great stickhandler, and a quick
hard, accurate shot. ( Kyle Conor also can do this)
I'll bet Ehler's scores 70-85 points this year

Nik is our forgotten one with all of our new shiny toys. He will soon remind us of his abilities.
I thought he played well last night. Drew two penalties in the first, if I was seeing correctly, hit the post at least once on the PP.
Would not have scored the tying goal had he not dived to stop the puck from exiting the zone.
I live Ehlers.
I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of
Laine-Chef-Wheels
Connor-MP-Ehlers
Mathias-Little-Stafford
I think Connor and MP compliment Ehlers beautifully. This isn't a knock on Little at all either. Just think thesee parts fit better. It's kinda like a 2a and 2b line combination who can play equal minutes
I'm not sure that Icing a line with the combined weight of Byfuglien is the best idea. Sure thats exaggeration but that line is(would be) tiiiiny.
I am a huge Ehlers fan, and I think he can do things on ice that blows my mind. Season is still young I know, but despite his technical abillities I think he brings too little output. Not enough points and not enough shots on goal. In that regard I am actually a bit worried about this year could become a sophomore year for him, if you can call it that if he ends up with 35-40 point in 82 games this year.
He doesnt have enough games with two or more points to really get it going.
The Little injury hasnt helped tho
Had the same thought!
Has anyone noticed he has very little chemistry with stafford and Burmi? as soon as he is with wheels, laine or scheif, he comes out to play.
But he wasnt on the ice that much yesterday? I think connor and Laine both had more toi than him.
Was a little pissed Laine didnt pass to Ehlers, then he scored
agree. he has very good chemistry with Wheels, Scheif and seems to click with Laine. would be sweet to see possibly a L S E line for one game. He needs to play with players as skilled as himself which Staff and burmi don't make the cut, I don't think M.P. has the skill set to play with him either.
With all the talk about Laine and Connor coming up, Ehlers may have been a bit forgotten. He made sure that that did not last long.
Speed
Skill
IQ
He has the full package.
What an absolute beauty of a pass last night.
