Jets Rumors: Nikolaj Ehlers Trade Chatter Heating Up 

 

Michael DeRosa Wednesday, June 05, 2024 

 

The Winnipeg Jets are one of the clubs to watch extremely closely this offseason. They not only have several free agents, but star winger Nikolaj Ehlers has been the subject of trade chatter. The skilled forward is entering the final season of his deal, and there has been a lot of speculation about a potential move centering around him.

 

Now, more fuel has been added to that fire big time. According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, Ehlers has not requested a trade, but he would welcome a change of scenery. In addition, Pagnotta also reported that Ehlers is not open to signing a contract extension, and that is why the Jets are shopping him.
 

With this big update, it is clear that Ehlers is a player to watch incredibly closely during the summer. If he is truly unwilling to sign an extension, the Jets ultimately have no choice but to trade him. He is too valuable of an asset to lose for nothing. The Jets could get themselves a pretty nice return for him, as he is a top-six winger who is coming off of another strong season. 

 

Ehlers, 28, appeared in 82 games this season with the Jets, where he had 25 goals to go along with 61 points and a plus-27 rating. Overall, it was another successful season for the nine-year veteran, and a plethora of teams could use his production in their lineups right now.
 

We will need to wait and see what happens with Ehlers during the offseason from here, but a trade certainly seems to be on the way.

Mikheyev and a 3rd. :hurhur: If he fails with Petey, well. We get out from under Mik a year sooner since Ehlers expires at the end of 24/25 season.

Mik for Ehlers straight up or no deal.

if we can't get Neycash, he should be the next target. 

 

Hronek + Mikheyv  for Ehlers.  

 

😌

 


Necas scored 4 goals in 11 games is these playoffs.

 

Coincidentally, that is the same number of goals Ehlers has scored in the postseason for his career (37 games).

He's a talented skill player, be interesting to see what he ends up going for 

 

Probably depends on his willingness to extend, but has to be a first plus good prospect.

Maybe, could see the Jets asking for a young NHL player tbh, they'd have to wait on a pick/prospect depending on who the prospect is 

 

They did well getting Vilardi in the Dubois trade for example

my bet is we end up with no one of significance.. don't see us having any trade chips for necas.. they 100% don't want a hronek... guentzel prolly too rich on july 1st.. we prolly be looking at the likes of monahan drouin maybe toffoli type players if they don't get re-sign.. or maybe grab a max domi or something.

I'd be fine with any of those players on a shorter term deal tbh

Guys been injury prone his whole career def concerning, he played all 82 last year but hasn’t played a full season since 17/18 before that…. For that reason I’m out

Big cap hit for a 20G 60P small player to be fair. Trade would have to involve Mikheyev going back but then we'd have to give some serious value back.

 

Hronek + Mikheyev for Ehlers and some sort of cap back (or not if they're happy) or we retain a bit on Mikheyev. 

 

Then we splash and sign Demelo ironically or Pesce if we can afford it to play with Hughes.

 

Suter - Miller - Boeser

Hoglander - Petey - Ehlers

Garland - Blueger - Joshua

Podkolzin - Aman - PDG

 

Hughes - Demelo

Zadorov - Myers

Soucy - Juulsen

 

Looks like a worse team to be honest. I'd rather we just keep Hronek and roll rubbish wingers around. That 2nd line needs a big man, Joshua would be an interesting swap with Hoglander.

The injury concerns are the biggest red flag he has for sure

Whoever pays that can have him I wouldn't even trade Garland for him. 

I don’t know why, but I just have a feeling Ehlers would be insane with Petey.  
Put them with a solid big boy and we have our second 1st line.
