To me Ehlers is Worth someone equal or better value

and in related news Germans live in Germany....

 

Be interesting if we could get Brock Nelson on board.  He's Dave Christian's nephew.

Ehlers is a pending ufa so he’s not worth equal or greater value. He’s worth a 1st and prospect or a dude on an expiring ufa contract who might be a better fit. Maybe Ehlers for Boeser, probably fair value. 
 

Nelson would be tremendous and being from near by Warroad Minnesota, there’s a chance he’d sign a new deal.

Boeser has 11 goals, 12 assists and a plus-minus of +1 in 29 games in the playoffs in his career.
 

Ehlers has 4 goals, 10 assists and a plus-minus of -9 in 37 games in the playoffs in his career.

 

If it’s about playoffs. 
 

Boeser probably signs here also. Jets have been big fans of his going back.

I’d take Risto for 2 years at 5.1 over pionk at 6 or 7 years x 7 million plus. 

Jets linked to mikko rantanen. The idea would be to move to playoff struggler Ehlers for him. I saw Ehlers plus kupari for rantanen. I mean If both going ufa it makes sense.

wish I we had a shocked reaction for this instead I'll just leave a Go Jets Go

All the credible insiders saying jets going after Brock Nelson and if he’s not available they will just add some depth. Wouldn’t surprise me if a guy like Ferraro from SJ is moved here. He’s a better LHD than our depth. 

A large part of me feels Chevy pulls off something completely out of left field like a guy nobody sees coming or a guy who isn’t even on the trade board. The other part of me feels we just add a depth 3lhd like Ferraro but with kupari in protocol I’d imagine we see a few moves.

Jets trade 

 

kappo kahkonnen to Florida for Chris Drieger. Drieger from Winnipeg. This is an ahl deal tho. 

I heard Dustin Byfuglien was keeping in great hockey shape and was coming back to the fold in time for the playoffs but then I woke up.

He had his moments but boy do we ever miss him on our D. No one has filled that void since he left.

Imagine having him in our lineup right now at his peak.

Does Chevy and Walter went to the same GM school ?

Living life, doing what he wants, surrounded by people he adores. He wins.

Chevy deals with way more constraints than Walters does. No trade clauses aren’t a cfl thing.

Other teams don't seem to have issues with getting around no trade clauses.   Why can't we do the same?

Dude, when I say "that man is living my dream life" I couldn't speak a more truthful statement. There is nothing else I want in life than what he has.

Huge signing for the Jets back then as Dave was an Olympic hero & had a pretty decent career as a Jet. I think Scott Arniel was his linemate.

You have to wonder why players wouldn't want to come to Winnipeg for a Stanley Cup run. We're talking, depending upon how deep the run is, 2-3 months max.

Maybe players who know what it takes...don't view the Jets as a contender.

Not so sure about that.  Christian did put up some good numbers but he wasn't here all that long (just over 3 seasons) and was more than happy to get out of here at the first opportunity.  He was pretty open about it when we traded him to Washington.   He had a far longer career with the Caps than he did here.

His time with Arniel as a team mate did briefly overlap but they rarely played on a line together.  Christian was mostly with Dave Babych and a rotating 3rd player (mainly Luchowich, MacLean or DeBlois) while Arniel was with Smail/Boschman/Watters.  Christian did get the only assist on Arniel's first ever NHL goal so they did have some brief spots together.

Winnipeg has the perception and perception is reality. But honestly. I feel like a few gms have overpaid and I’m glad Chevy didn’t give up a yager or lambert like Colorado did with Ritchie. We grabbed Monahan Toffoli and miller last year. It didn’t help so I’m ok with just depth moves. Jets 1st overall despite what tsn says. 

Right now Dallas plays Colorado rd 1.

Or they'd rather lie on a beach counting their money or play golf on their days off.
