Six suitors emerged for the Winnipeg Jets' veteran forward Nikolaj Ehlers as trade rumors loom.
For a few weeks now, it's been confirmed that Ehlers has generated a lot of interest from NHL teams, and while he has been involved in trade talks before, it reached a new level, according to a report from The Athletic's Murat Ates:
"Ehlers has been shopped before, but never so seriously that talks reached the boiling point. Things could be different this summer."
Ehlers is set to earn $6,750,000 this season, entering the final year of his deal signed in 2017 by Kevin Cheveldayoff, and he's apparently not interested in signing another contract in Winnipeg.
The 28-year-old forward has a 10-team no-move clause, but nonetheless, potential trade destinations were highlighted by recent reports confirming the Jets are taking calls for him:
"According to a well-placed source close to the Jets, Ehlers is not interested in signing a contract extension with the club and that is primarily why Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is exploring his options via the trade market."
Scott Billeck of The Winnipeg Sun wrote in a recent paper that the Boston Bruins, Seattle Kraken, Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Carolina Hurricanes, and New Jersey Devils are among the potential suitors:
"Boston is one rumored suitor, as are Seattle, Ottawa, Columbus, Carolina, and New Jersey, among others."
