It’s a tough look to trade a semi-star player who loves playing in a city where it’s hard to attract stars, simply because it’s tough to blend his style into the team style.
Ehlers is one of my favs, so much fun to watch when he’s playing well but obviously the chemistry is lacking in certain situations and he made a fool of himself multiple times in the postseason, so i’m fine with either outcome tbh
Chychrun and Ridley Greig from Ottawa could be a good trade. Although I’d rather go after one of their younger D-men.
Honestly, though, did Murat actually put any thoughts into writing most of this? The rest of these suggestions don’t make a lot of sense for Winnipeg. The Jets are in win now mode, so why would Chevy trade for picks and prospects that are 2-3 years away or fucking Reily Smith? lmfao
He would need to be replaced by a scoring player.
You can remove 30 goals from a team and not replace a those goals lost.
To the Carolina Hurricanes: Nikolaj Ehlers. To the Winnipeg Jets: Martin Necas, Ryan Suzuki (or Jack Drury), a 2024 first-round pick, and a conditional 2025 third-round pick that upgrades to a second-round pick if Ehlers scores 70+ points in the 2024-2025 season.
Orlov, if there is a potential for an extension would be a great get, probably the only top pair dman out there that would be available
Y’all act like we’re trading away a generational talent.
He’s never scored 30 in a season and his highest point total was 64 six years ago. He’s also been hampered by injuries the last several years.
This is maybe a semantic difference, but I think the sentiment should be what can we get with him, as opposed to what can we get for him.
To expand, I don’t think the driving factor should be to trade Nikolaj for whatever we can get, I think we should be looking at what we specifically want, and use Nik as a chip to achieve that goal. If he can’t get us a player or package that addresses a specific need, we shouldn’t trade him at all.
Like, yes, he doesn’t seem to fit with our team identity that well, but he’s still a dynamic and skilled player on a reasonable contract. His contract is a chip that can be played if necessary, but it is still valuable if we keep it. Not like with PLD where the chip was expiring and if we kept it, we’d get nothing.
From the brilliant minds that brought you hits like « Hellebuyck’s next contract will not be with the Jets »
Maybe get a coach who isn’t a dinosaur with hockey IQ from this decade to deploy him properly?
I like everything about his regular season.
But his 4 goals in 37 playoff games can’t be overlooked. He isn’t a factor in most playoff games.
I’d be sorry to see him go, but the trend is established that he isn’t a playoff performer.
