Ehlers + Bjorkstrand one of *the* best W combos

Really great skillset fit also

Doubt this gets you him.. Ehlers probably has more value than laine especially with that super team friendly contract

From the Jets pov I’m hitting accept all day on this

Really fair for both teams. Does CBJ like Ehlers more? Cause he likely has more value than laine, with him being locked up long term on a really good deal. Maybe take the 3rd out, add Gustafsson going to CBJ and change stenlund to Bemstrom? I’ve only ever seen Bemstrom on the wing, and CBJ needs to bolster their C depth. Gus is a solid C prospect that is close to NHL ready. If that’s too complex the original trade looks good to me.

Personally I'd love Ehlers over Laine! And I would think adding Bemstrom would be too much. Stenlund is pretty decent


Thanks for the input btw

I figured Bemstrom would be a bit much, only reason I thought it could work is because Ehlers likely has more value than PLD just due to his all around play and team friendly deal. Roslovic > Carlsson, Gus < Bemstrom so maybe that was fair but I get what you’re saying!

I like Ehlers a lot but the problem for the Jackets has always been who is going to score goals? Atkinson and Bjorkstrand are more secondary scores than a prime goal scorer. Ehlers is a great playmaker but Laine is a pure goal scorer with an elite shot. The Jackets need a sniper like Laine on the power play.
