The Winnipeg Jets are gearing up to make some big moves to stay competitive this Summer, especially after their tough loss to the Colorado Avalanche in five games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

According to Murat Ates over at The Athletic, one of the players potentially on the chopping block is Nikolaj Ehlers. The 28 year-old has one year left on his contract with a $6 million cap hit, so it's not too surprising that the Jets might be looking to wheel and deal.

It's also true that Ehlers' playoff resume will haunt him until he overcomes it. Nothing is promised on that front, and it's looking less and less likely that he'll get the opportunity to improve upon that resume in Winnipeg. The Jets are indeed in the process of a head coaching search � one wonders if new leadership could change what seems like an inevitable exit � but I believe that Ehlers will be shopped ahead of the NHL Draft. Ehlers has been shopped before, but never so seriously that talks reached the boiling point. Things could be different this summer.
Ehlers has a modified no-trade clause, which means he has some say in where he could end up. That could complicate things Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff he tries to make a deal.

Apparently #GoJetsGo� forward Nikolaj Ehlers is on the trade block and man, if there is one player I have wanted the #NJDevils� to pursue for years, it's him.

He's elite at everything offensively and took a huge jump in defense this year. One of the fastest players in the NHL.

Ates also listed a few teams that could be interested in Ehlers, including Ottawa, Utah, Carolina, Buffalo, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. It'll be fascinating to see which teams make a play for him and what kind of deal the Jets can make.

The pitch is that Ehlers is a solid player who's capable of making a big impact on any team. Maybe a change of scenery is just what he needs to shine, especially when it comes to playoff time.

As seen on Athletic:Nikolaj Ehlers trade destinations: If the Jets move him, what can they get?
