Hmmm very interesting

 

[JuJu Mobb]

He's a great young player who should be part of Winnipeg's future.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

What should he be looking for on a new contract?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This summer will be lit guys

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Who is better: Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Oh man I am going to laugh if a bunch of offersheets happen and non are for Marner after dealing with this place for months.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

In other news - water is wet! I would bet that all of the elite RFA's are at least taking calls gauging interest.

Winnipeg made the huge error of drafting too well and having too much talent on the team that deserves to get paid. I'm sure some teams are seeing what KC's looking for to potentially see if they can take advantage either via a trade, or potentially even an offersheet depending on the Laine contract negotations.

 

[Syckle78]

One of these young talents is getting offer sheeted. Too much noise to ignore at this point.

 

[Saidin]

30 other GM's wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't.... Not sure why this is news.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Who is better: Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers?

I’d rather have Connor.

 

[MAHJ71]

In other obvious news... the sky is generally blue.

Lol agreed it's like saying GM's are talking to the Duchesne ...

 

[Hunter368]

No doubt all of the high profile RFA’s have been contacted by teams.

 

[Saidin]

Been saying this all year, most exciting off season is a damn long time.

It might be that the other elite RFA's are more realistic in their contract expecations and would theoretically sign an offersheet that is in line with the market ($8.5-9.0M) when the main comparable is Kucherov @ $9.5M. I don't see any team going to the crazy land (McD $+) for Mitch Marner as is reported. And I highly doubt that MM would sign an existing market value deal or it would likely already be done.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What should he be looking for on a new contract?

Maybe $8.5 to $9.5 million on a long-term deal?

Connor

Marner signs a 6 x 9.5 and Connor gets an offer sheet

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Who is better: Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers?

I’d rather have Ehlers. I think they’re of a similar level in terms of results, but I feel that Ehlers has more raw skill.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Who is better: Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers?

Connor. Pretty easily for me.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I doubt teams are contacting a 53 year old about playing for them.

 

[BB88]

Who is better: Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers?

I'd keep Connor.

 

[Whileee]

Ehlers is better, and on a great contract. Connor's terrific but his numbers were boosted playing on the top line with Scheifele and Wheeler, and on the 1st PP. If someone makes a stupid high offer the Jets should let him go and use the cap space to address their gap on RD or 2C. They have a very good young winger in Vesalainen ready for a roster spot.

You win damn autocorrect
