Jets Rumors: 3 Potential Trade Destinations for Nikolaj Ehlers


Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers has been a very popular player in the rumor mill, but he has yet to be traded. However, with interest being so high in the pending UFA, they certainly could deal for the right price. Let's discuss three potential landing spots for him because of it. 

Buffalo Sabres: The Buffalo Sabres have had themselves a busy offseason, but they still have not added another top-six winger. They have been linked to Ehlers at times, and he would surely fix this issue if acquired. Thus, they are a team to continue to pay attention to when it comes to Ehlers. 

Carolina Hurricanes: The Carolina Hurricanes have lost multiple forwards this offseason and have been looking for top-six help because of it. Ehlers has been on their radar, and it would not be shocking if they made a bigger push for him when the season gets closer. He would be a clear fit in their top six and give them another star to work with. 

Seattle Kraken: The Seattle Kraken have had a busy offseason, but they might not be done yet. They still could use another top-six winger, especially with their scoring troubles last season. Because of this, they are a clear team to pay attention to in the Ehlers sweepstakes.
