Nikolaj Ehlers will be a free agent at the end of the current season, and with speculation he could be moved, the team's GM spoke about his future fate. Nikolaj Ehlers has <a href='https://www.rotowire.com/hockey/headlines/nikolaj-ehlers-news-two-point-effort-in-boston-550580' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>been one of the most electrifying players for the Winnipeg Jets</a> over the past decade, standing out even among stars on the team like Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, Connor Hellebuyck, and Josh Morrissey. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyDaily365/status/1885150743214092742'> </a></blockquote></div> But with his contract expiring this summer, the question hangs: Is this his last season in Winnipeg? <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-nikolaj-ehlers-could-soon-be-on-his-way-out' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Ehlers is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st</a> and has not yet had any reported contract discussions with the team. That leaves a few possibilities for his future, some more attractive to Jets fans than others. For one, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/nikolaj-ehlers-8477940' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Ehlers</a> and the Jets could hammer out an extension before free agency, keeping him in Winnipeg for the long haul. Another option is the team keeps him in-house as a rental for a deep playoff push, then risks losing him for nothing in July. <h3>GM Cheveldayoff says he won't be trading Ehlers this season</h3> A pre-deadline trade would be another option, but Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff recently squashed that notion, saying he has no intention of trading Ehlers and hopes to win a Stanley Cup with him this year. <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-XnA6oKG2Q' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>You can watch Kevin Cheveldayoff's interview here</a> While theoretically re-signing him after he becomes a free agent is also an option, that's a bit of a long shot. A decade playing with the team, 650 games in, and more than 500 points later, Ehlers' future in Winnipeg is definitely pretty cloudy. For now, he's still part of the core, at least through this playoff push. But unless an extension happens, his game-breaking speed and skill may soon be razzle dazzling another fanbase next season.
