It’s time for another round of NHL rumorus. We’re nearing the March 7th trade deadline and teams will have some interesting calls they’ll have to make on players. Teams that have fallen out of the Stanley Cup Playoff race aren’t the only teams that’ll have to make decisions. Contending clubs may also have to make some moves that could be tough. The teams may be eyeing the post-season. However, they also have to pay attention to their futures.<\/p>\n
One team may have an interesting situation is the Winnipeg Jets<\/a>. This edition of NHL rumours deals with one forward that the team will have to decide on.<\/p>\n All NHL rumours come from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n Rumour: Murat Ates of The Athletic was recently asked about the future of forward Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a> in a recent mailbag<\/a>. Ates examined all possible scenarios involving the Danish winger.<\/em><\/p>\n Analysis:<\/em> Ehlers’ future has been a subject of discussion<\/a> for a number of months on NHL rumours.<\/a> The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He carries a $6 million cap hit and has 40 points heading into Tuesday night’s set of games.<\/p>\n It seemed that Ehlers would be on his way out at the beginning of the season. However, head coach Scott Arniel<\/a> has moved Ehlers to the top power-play unit and given him plenty of ice time. Arniel’s trust in Ehlers is working out to around a point a game pace.<\/p>\n This sort of production has helped Ehlers’ cause when it comes to his next deal. The veteran did tell Ates that he appreciates the chance to be on a winning team. However, it’s still up in the air on what the future holds for the multiple-time 60-point forward.<\/p>\nNHL Rumours<\/h2>\n
