Boston Bruins reportedly interested in Nickolaj Ehlers

Ehlers has played entire career with The Jets which began in 2015 after he was drafted in the first-round 9th pick overall in 2014. Over the course of his nine years in the league, he has been a consistent point getter as thru seven of his nine years he's had over 25 goals per season.

Adding a player of his calibre would certainly bode well for the Bruins as Ehlers is a defensive forward. Short of one season in his career he has been a plus player in his plus minus by a significant amount.

During the 2023-2024 season, he had 25 goals with 36 assists for 61 points and was a fantastic plus 27.

The 28-year-old appears to need a change of scenery as he holds a modified no trade clause and has a cap hit of $6 million. The Bruins need a top six forward especially on the wing as the team found out over the course of this season, but they have a hard time scoring goals.

It's likely that general manager Don Sweeney will call jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff to inquire on what it would cost to see Ehlers in a Bruins uniform.
