Long term with Ehlers

as much as savoie and the first are tempting (along with curiousity of seeing what thompson+ehlers would look like), i selfishly dont want the jets to do it

So in order to get Ehlers,
we’d not only have to give up Savoie & a top10 pick,
we’d also (essentially) have to give up Skinner, plus Rosen &
a 2nd to get someone to take his contract

I like Ehlers- a lot actually- but there’s no way he’s worth all that either.
We really don’t need to make big crazy moves
Just need a top4 RD, & a bit more time for the kids to grow up & mature.
Don’t forget, we are the youngest team in the league,
and will likely be even younger next season (since it’s probably Okposo, Comrie & Girgs’ last year with us)


I know it’s not happening as fast as we all want,
but we really are in the right track

Totally understand your hesitancy to trade a player like Ehlers, but if they aren't willing to utilize him I would say that they would probably be willing to trade him for a young forward with great top 6 potential and a pick that will probably be a top 4 defenseman

Skinner will need to be moved or bought out anyway to give Tuch and Quinn pay raises so not so much an Ehlers move. I don't think we can wait any longer, our window was open last season, wasted an open window this season, and now Dahlins and Powers deals kick in so there is real urgency to get in the playoffs next season especially with Tampa and Toronto showing decline + Boston will have to come back down to earth sometime, I'd rather be prepared for it

We’d ONLY need to get rid of Skinner somehow IF we were bringing in a guy like Ehlers

Now Ehlers is younger & better than Skinner,
but is the difference between the two :
Savoie + Rosen + a top10 pick + a 2nd ???

Sorry, but NO WAY
That’s just way too much dude
