We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
It's not Ehlers fault that Chef is under-paid. Chef should blame his agent or his goats.

If he does move on his buddy in Montreal will no doubt be whispering sweet nothings in his ear. You think the Canadiens would be interested, I do.
True. With and without Laine, Montreal makes a lot of sense as well
8 years ago-ish Ehlers signed for $6.00Mx8 a year after Scheif signed $6.25Mx8...

Well, for Nik he has to make a decision. If he really wants that marquee position with top line, big minutes and big paycheck, that limits where he's going to sign.
Finding a team that offers that and is a perennial contender will be a tall task. What team do you think will offer him all that?
So you think something magical is going to happen that is going to make Nik a first line player on the Jets, getting top minutes and getting paid more than Scheifele or Hellebuyck?
Cause I think that's what it's going to take.

I love Nik, but if he's your marquee player, you're not a perennial cup contender
Maybe Carolina?
their first contract were pretty close. i am expecting similar this time around. Scheifele at 8.5m currently, Ehlers 7.5-8M and then Vilardi below that.
Here's the problem: it's almost like a venn diagram. Top line minutes/ responsibilities, top tier salary, contending team.
If Nik is trying to hit all three of those he's not doing it with the Jets, and he's going to be hard pressed to find another team that will offer that.
That's why I think his most logical choice would be an up and coming team.

His performance in April and May this year will heavily influence how sad I am if he moves on. His playoff numbers have been poor.

I don't think it will be too big a problem to find most, if not all of the above. He really is a top-tier player in the NHL at this point. He is not a super-star, but if you look at P/60, he hangs out with the superstars. Among LW, there are only 6 teams in the NHL boasting wingers with more point production this season. He is still under 30 years old.
Nik doesn't look like he is doing anything but enjoying his increased opportunities to shine this season. If I am his agent, I am not sweating this coming off-season, I am salivating.
I think he could be paid more than them, but, there is no way he is on top line. Connor way to be 5 in points and goals you are getting demoted because someone else has a higher /60 rate?
this season connor has been better than ehlers at 5v5 with his increased 2way engagement. first year he'll be in the +10's after years of straddling even and negative. CSV has been pretty good for the most part after a poor 23-24.
for the top-6 wingers: id rate it connor>ehlers>vilardi for this season.
the case for splitting connor and scheifele this year is actually what many were arguing about over the summer as an opposing point for ehlers+scheifele and citing the whole Chicago and Kane and Toews split. connor - not ehlers - is closer to kane.

Nik is turning into what I always hoped he would be.
He's all over the ice,o-zone, D-zone, along the boards.... he's building chemistry and driving play with his linemates, he can be successful with different players..... He's shining in big moments....
and I think he likes it here. I think he wants to win here. I think he loves the white out. Last night vs the caps you could feel it..that OT goal he was pretty much saying "THIS IS MY HOUSE" and I think we re sign him.
