In a recent interview, Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele discussed who he believes will replace Nikolaj Ehlers in the lineup this upcoming season. The Winnipeg Jets suffered a major loss this offseason as Nikolaj Ehlers <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/nikolaj-ehlers-officially-leaves-winnipeg-signs-with-new-team' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>decided to sign with the Carolina Hurricanes during free agency. </a> Since losing Ehlers, the Jets have made several additions through free agency and have multiple prospects ready to push for a roster spot. Earlier this summer, head coach Scott Arniel and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff admitted that prospects such as Brad Lambert and Brayden Yager would get the first opportunity to replace Ehlers' role. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/icdave/status/1938323770680217841'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Now, Scheifele has given his opinion on who should get the opportunity. <h3>Mark Scheifele Discusses Who Should Replace Nikolaj Ehlers</h3> During the recent interview, Scheifele admitted that losing Ehlers will have a major impact and that replacing him one for one is almost impossible. However, Scheifele named free agent additions Jonathan Toews, Tanner Pearson, and Gustav Nyquist as players he expects to step up. He's obviously a close friend. Played with him for 10 years. And we're going to miss him. But obviously, getting Toews, Nyquist, Pearson, you're doing it a little bit more cut by committee. You're never going to find a another Nikolaj Ehlers. He was absolutely so dynamic. And a fantastic part of this team for a long time. And you can't fill those shoes, but I really like the moves we made. These three veterans along with the young prospects looking to crack the lineup will likely be the ones relied upon to fill Ehlers' role. As the season gets underway, it will be interesting to see who gets the first real opportunity on the first line wing spot that Ehlers has occupied for so long in Winnipeg.
