The Buffalo Sabres should push to finally land Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency
Locked On Sabres - Daily Podcast On The Buffalo SabresAbout this episode
There have been rumors about the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers going back years and years, but no deal has ever materialized. Now that Ehlers is about to become a free agent, will the Sabres finally land Ehlers? Sneaky Joe makes the case for why the Sabres should make an aggressive offer for a player that is super consistent, a great even-strength goal scorer, and a great skater. Plus, why Ehlers fills a need in the Sabres lineup, and is a potential JJ Peterka replacement if he is traded. What reporters are saying about what Ehlers will get contract-wise indicates a monster offer will be needed. And should we be thinking about Connor McDavid leaving Edmonton in a year?
