Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers is expected to be a hot commodity on the trade market this off-season.

According to Scott Billeck of The Winnipeg Sun, he mentioned how Dave Pagnotta has linked Nikolaj Ehlers to the Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, New Jersey Devils, Ottawa Senators and Seattle Kraken.

"Boston is one rumoured suitor, as are Seattle, Ottawa, Columbus, Carolina and New Jersey, among others." Billeck said.

This news comes less than a month after a report from Murat Ates of The Athletic stating that the Winnipeg Jets have made Nikolaj Ehlers for trade.

"It's also true that Ehlers' playoff resume will haunt him until he overcomes it. Nothing is promised on that front, and it's looking less and less likely that he'll get the opportunity to improve upon that resume in Winnipeg. The Jets are indeed in the process of a head coaching search � one wonders if new leadership could change what seems like an inevitable exit � but I believe that Ehlers will be shopped ahead of the NHL Draft." Ates said.

He added, "Ehlers has been shopped before, but never so seriously that talks reached the boiling point. Things could be different this summer."

However, new Winnipeg head coach Scott Arniel has mentioned how he would like Ehlers to remain with the Jets going into next season.
