That's pretty much how it goes with every young player signing his first non-entry level contract. You're banking on him building off the success he has already had, and hope for a solid ROI. Pretty sure everyone here knows he's a winger, BTW. What he is getting at is that wingers don't get paid like centre's do in the NHL because the Oilers over paid for Draisaitl who is a centre but will probably be playing wing with Mc David this season.

Yeah Draisaitl is a 50-point center but an 80-point winger with McDavid. Overpaid Bubba Zanetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHeart Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 man if they sign Ehlers for that much, I can only imagine how much Laine will gets when he gets resigned....I bet it'll be the first 50+mil signing in Jets 2.0 era.....unless there was something I missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a winger too let's not forget. It's a good deal but it is incumbent on Ehlers to progress and make it a steal. Ehlers is the most highly skilled player on the Jets roster. He has a 60 point season under his belt and in my opinion hasn't even come close to putting it all together yet. To lock up a key piece at a price this cap-friendly is great news for this franchise.
