Nikolaj Ehlers on his future with the Winnipeg Jets
Murat Ates: Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers: “I have one year left. There has been no talk with Chevy so far and I still have to talk to him and my agent, so that's not an answer I can give you right now. I love these guys. They know that. I don't have an answer for anyone right now.”
NHL Rumors: Winnipeg Jets – Rick Bowness, Free Agents, and the Blue Line
Which way will the Los Angeles Kings go this offseason?
Eric Stephens of the Athletic: Do the Los Angeles Kings need to make major changes and is GM Rob Blake the guy to make those changes?
Blake fit in well with Pierre-Luc Dubois last season and didn't have a great year for the Kings. Some of the moves Blake made took them out and they couldn't make a trade in the time limit.
They will need to hire a head coach and make decisions about pending UFAs Viktor Arvidsson and Matt Roy.
The Kings have been trending in the right direction for the past few years under Blake – he has been their GM for seven seasons now. Cal Petersen's three-year, $15 million deal didn't work out and they had to save $2 million to move him and it cost Sean Walker. The Dubois trade hasn't worked.
Dennis Bernstein: There are no minor contract extension talks between the LA Kings and pending UFAs Matt Roy and Viktor Arvidsson.
Roy would like to stay in LA but understands the situation of the salary groups.
NHL Rumors: Los Angeles Kings, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Buyout speculation
Eric Stephens: Los Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar and defenseman Drew Doughty have made it clear they are not interested in dealing with any tool or rebuild.
Kopitar has two years left as his extension starts next year. Doughty has three years left.
