I am not aware of his possession stats, and I am doubtful of your statement.You do realize has has some of the best possessions stats on the team right?

I don't think the whole team is playing up to their potential & their possession stats in general would all be suffering.
I am going by the eye test as I watch most Jets games.
You sir are correct, he does have decent Corsi numbers. I still don't think that he is playing up to his potential.I'd definitely not argue against him needing to be better! I think the eye test plays tricks on us when it comes to players that carry the puck a lot. Ehlers is a prime example of that. He not only has the puck a lot but plays with a lot of risk. I think it's human nature to remember all the mistakes and thus think he didn't do well. Possession stats has him as the 2nd best Jet on 5v5. Stats pulled from natural stat trick.

Also, numbers can be misleading Myers @50.63 has seemingly had a lot of trouble in his own end this year.
OK, so Wheeler, Scheifele, and Laine suck, not Ehlers?I'd definitely not argue against him needing to be better!

My point is that a lazy person's argument (I don't know who it was who put up the table I referenced)is to put up a stat as if it somehow proves something conclusive about a player. I'm not even confident that the stats are tracked properly. Giveaways, takeaways, and hits, are a joke.Wait what...? Where did I say that
If you mean that Ehlers has been better at possession, then yes, that’s what those stats would suggest... also not stats I’ve personally tracked. not sure what your point is...

Laine and Ehlers are no-talent bums now. The Jets ruin all of their good players.
The "J" always throws me off.The first name. It should be Nikola,Nikolas or Nikolai.

Wonder what team you cheer for lol. Matthews doesn’t look good when someone touches him either so keep quiet.To be fair....Laine has never been above average at anything but shooting.
So if he doesn't shoot well he doesn't look good.
Laine struggled?Ehlers/Laine also struggled in last years playoffs. Had they been on, WPG would have played WSH.
Well play played good sir.Virtanen:
GP G A P +/- PIM
[TBODY] [/TBODY]
14 5 2 7 1 10
Ehlers:
GP G A P +/- PIM
[TBODY] [/TBODY]
12 1 3 4 -7 7
Add in Nylander with zeroes across the board this year.....
Looks like Jimbo made the right choice after all!
