Value of: Nikolaj Ehlers as a UFA

  • 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.

I'm thinking he gets $8.5 X 7 and a team will regret it in 4-5 years. jets probably 8 X $8

Regret on an 8.5 million cap hit when the cap will be 115+ plus?
That's some drop-off your expecting.
I think he gets 7×9 due to so many teams having tons of cap-space and how much parity there is in the league.

I used to hate the cap but now with such a massive jump over the next three years and how refreshing it is to see so many teams actually playing for something in March making almost every game high stakes is awesome.
Nothing worse than only a few teams involved in the race playing teams icing shit lineups for a better draft pick.
Much more exciting especially when you compare it to MLB where you basically know for the most part who's getting in by May and the UFA season basically involving 4-6 teams .

Back to Ehlers, Its no secret the nucks inquired about him in the past and with him being exactly the type of player they could really use 25+ million in cap with the Dcorp and goaltending set and a dire need for offense with or without Brock, I could see them opening the wallet for him.

What team needs a top 6 winger?
What team has at least 8 million in space?

I'd think he gets 8 x 8 in WPG

He gets 7 x 9 on a bubble team that needs an offensive punch to help push them into playoffs?

I don't see the 5 or 6 contending teams being able to fit him.

Almost everyone needs a top 6 winger and with the cap going up 10M, at least half the teams are going to be able to afford that if they choose. Brace yourself.

Wow , people throwing around 9-10M long term deals for a guy who's often injured and has a bad playoff record...

I like him, but he's not getting that. If he does, I hope it's not my team.

He’s one of the best 5v5 players on the planet and maybe the best zone-entry guy. $9M feels like the number but $10M is in play, so many teams have a lot of cap and need scoring

Really hope we can keep him but I'm worried he will go somewhere else for better usage/icetime

Think he'll get somewhere in the 8-10 range, closer to 10 if he really goes for a bidding war

The potential questions (size, playoffs, etc.) are pretty similar to Marner's actually
 
The Hertl contract + 10 % inflation. So I think around 9m per. If a team can get him at 8.5 that would be good value.

Carolina.
Carolina.

What team has been trying to solve top line LW for a couple of seasons via deadline deals?

Carolina.

The only debate I see for Carolina is if both Marner and Ehlers get to July 1, who do they think they should prioritize?

Considering Marner literally openly refused to go there I would say Ehlers?

If Marner makes it to July 1st then all it takes is a call to his agent to see where his head is at for landing spots. I assume he will re-sign with Toronto but if he doesn't then I don't he doesn't at least listen to offers elsewhere even if it's a place he didn't waive for previously.

Not saying this is what happens, but I'd watch MTL in this. Him and Laine are tight and Laine brought him a MTL jersey and hyped up the team and city lol
