The Jets have been ROARING out of the gates to start the 2024-25 NHL season.
They’re one of only 2 remaining undefeated teams and off to a 7-0 start.
But Nikolaj Ehlers is on the final year of his 7-year, $6M AAV contract.
The man is looking to get paid this summer.
The best way to get paid is to be a point-per-game guy, and deliver some OT daggers.
Sure, it may have just squeaked through there.
But that’s 3 goals and 6 assists through 7 games for Ehlers so far this year.
Not bad at all.
In 1993, the league expanded to 26 teams with the Florida Panthers and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
2000 the league jumped up to 30 with the Wild and Blue Jackets.
1994, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2021, and 2024.
They’ve been 4 wins away, but just can’t seem to get it done.
Maybe the 2024-25 Winnipeg Jets could be the ones who change that.
And let me tell ya…that would be awesome.
Eventually the drought has to end at some point.
It’s not like no Canadian team is ever going to win the Cup ever again.
Toronto is Canada’s team.
But for the most part, people forget the Winnipeg Jets even exist.
It would be the perfect time for the Jets to win one.
Obviously it would be way more fun for no Canadian team to win the Cup.
