The biggest free agent target is off the board after Carolina agreed to a six-year, $51 million contract ($8.5 million AAV) with Nikolaj Ehlers on Thursday. The 29-year-old star winger leaves Winnipeg after 10 up-and-down seasons and a 24-goal, 63-point campaign in 2024-25. He is expected to take a top-six and top power-play role in Carolina.
Ehlers has been out since April 12th with a lower-body injury he suffered in a collision with a referee in Chicago. His return comes at a perfect time because the Jets are missing Mark Scheifele due to an undisclosed injury he suffered in Game 5. Before getting hurt, Ehlers was having one of the best seasons of his career, scoring 24 goals with 39 assists (63 points) in 69 games.
Ehlers has only played twice in the last fours weeks but will make his 2024-25 playoff debut on Friday in Game 6.

The 29-year-old Ehlers scored 63 points (24G / 39A) in 63 games this season.
