Today a new report has linked the Vancouver Canucks to one of the Winnipeg Jets biggest stars in free agency. Last week, the <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/vancouver-canucks-president-jim-rutherford-confirms-the-team-plans-to-make-major-additions-this-offseason' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vancouver Canucks confirmed they will be aggressive to add talent</a> this summer. After the departure of J.T. Miller at the deadline and the expected departure of Brock Boeser in free agency, the Canucks forward group is in desperate need of a star. With the Canucks expected to be aggressive both on the trade and free agent markets, speculation has begun to find players they could target. A report this morning from The Province has indicated that Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers will likely be near the top of the Canucks wish list. <h3>Vancouver Canucks Linked To Winnipeg Jets Star Nikolaj Ehlers</h3> Ehlers is expected to test free agency this summer after not signing an extension with the Jets. In the Jets Game 6 loss Ehlers was inexplicably given less ice-time than players further down the lineup. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlchunky/status/1759723992640876743'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/cbrooksie84/status/1923958716837073234'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Now, Ehlers will have the chance to explore his options in free agency and Ben Kuzma of The Province believes Vancouver is the perfect fit. Ehlers, 29, will top a lot of wish lists for a winger would can play at heightened pace, drive the play and finish. The Vancouver Canucks, who had past interest, will be among the suitors because UFA Brock Boeser is going to test the market and there's a sizable top-six roster hole here to fill. Ultimately, it will be up to Nikolaj Ehlers to decide where he wants to play next season but expect the Vancouver Canucks to be a prime contender to secure his services.
