Jesus, I would understand 4 with an extension in place but 4 for 1 year is actually too much.

Oh fuck that shit especially since we’d have to give him a fat contract and who knows if he’d even want to stay

2025 1st with maybe top 10 protection 2 of Kulich, Rosen, Ostlund, Savoie
1 of Krebs, Jokiharju, Johnson, Kisakov etc
And all that for 1 year of dude going straight to UFA, with all the leverage in contract negotiation (you paid all these, now pay me 8x10m or you lose everything)
Yeah, cannot see this happening

There are a few players I’d make that deal for; he ain’t on the list.

This is what happens when you tip your hand, and overpay for 4th line players.
GMKA is drenched in desperation.

Kind of feels like nobody in the NHL respects GMKA, so everybody tries to rip him off rather than negotiating in good faith. He’s not part of their little club.

Good for GMKA, not doing bad trades that will hurt this team down the road even more. He might get fired, but I respect that he won’t hurt this team to save his job.
That ask is stupid, higher than any trade in recent memory for a lesser player. Maybe if we had a contract in hand, but why would any gm pay that for essentially a rental.

Id make that deal for Kaprizov. Not anyone on Winnipeg
GoGlenMoCo
Yeah that’s ridiculous. Good luck getting that from anyone, Winnipeg. Won’t happen.

The only possible argument for not paying is UFA-1 status, but
He’s one of the best W in the game full stop at a mid level cap hit
Even just a year of him could do amazing things for this franchise, just saying ultimately
SomeSabresFan
People know how much of a bind he is in and how desperate we are for playoffs, so, of course GMs are trying to get more than a team would normally have to pay. Our situation from the tank year until now adds a premium
Finally_Smiled
Yeah, fuck that.
If Ehlers takes free agency next year, we would be absolutely stupid to do this.
I would rather wait for Ehlers next season and see if our offer sheet is enticing to him to come here.
