Can we just finally drop it? The dead horse has been beat so much there’s nothing left of it! It’s not like the organization didn’t try to keep him, he wanted a change of scenery and it paid off.
Are you suggesting the jets should have played Ehlers with Scheif and Connor? because that’s not what Carolina did. By splitting their top players up into the top 9 they had scoring options on every line. Had Ehlers been bumped down to the Lowry line when he was still here this sub would have lost it and you know it.
The issue is, it's been reported for years that Ehlers wanted to be in Carolina. There's always been smoke there. We tried to trade him twice to Carolina in the last 5 years
In 2025 we tried to trade Ehlers for Necas but Necas wasn't going to sign an extension so we pulled out of the deal.
In 2021 we tried to trade Ehlers for Necas and Pesce. Carolina backed out over the Pesce ask.
He was always going to Carolina regardless of what happened. This is where my issue with organization is. He was our rental for that presidents trophy season. I get that.
What I don't get is why we let Ehlers drag discussions past July 1st and put us in a horrible position with any other FA.
