Preseason bold prediction: Nikolaj Ehlers will play out the season and then walk as a UFA
Pass, fail or incomplete? Incomplete
Winnipeg kept Ehlers through the trade deadline, helping my preseason prediction clear its lowest available hurdle. The Jets added a defenseman without moving Ehlers, so I’ve cleared the second-lowest hurdle, too. What now? Will the pending UFA walk this summer? He’s finally on the Jets’ top power play and on pace for a career year as a result. His playoffs will also impact his price point and the Jets’ willingness to pay it. Will they? And will he want to stay? Anything could happen, but I continue to believe his next steps will come elsewhere. — Murat Ates
