He’s missed significant time in 4 of the last 6 years, we already have Cernak for that role on the team
I love Cernak so much. But this would be a sick deal.
If the jets were to actually do this deal one for one, its actually a solid deal for both teams. With the emergence of Crozier on the right hand side, along with Perbix we have depth and potential to make up for moving Cernak, especially with McD helping hold down that pairing.
What we are missing next season and the future (as of now) is depth scoring and a legitimate top 6 forward. If Ehlers can stay healthy he can fill that void. That being said, Im not sure the jets do a one for one deal for Ehlers
If it was a one for one for Cernak I would do that, it wouldn’t affect our cap too much as he only makes 800k more and you can probably get that retained by either Winnipeg or a third party since he’s a free agent next year.
I don’t think this actually happens though, I think we keep Cernak at least one more year and while I think Winnipeg should keep Ehlers I think they end up trading him for another forward, I don’t think they can afford to lose his offensive output and not replace it with that trade.
I would do this in a heartbeat
