Ehlers:
The Winnipeg Jets drafted Nikolaj Ehlers ninth overall and I asked Halifax Mooseheads fan DaftPuck about him. Here's what he said: He can definitely create. His take-off speed is quick and when in flight he can really move flowingly. Has amazing hockey sense. His passing is hard and accurate. If you ever get a chance read his tweets. The guy cares a lot about hockey and his family.
Daft also knew he'd be a special player the first time he watched him play.
An Ehlers profile from September.
And one from today. I say PoMo hires Caroline as an assistant coach when she turns 18.
And a reminder that Ehlers is really good at hockey.

Mike Ribeiro was bought out by the Arizona Coyotes due to behavioural problems. This is a regular buy-out.
The Vancouver Canucks are blowing up and therefore they traded Jason Garrison for a pick.
