Game Recap
The Ehlers Departure: Can Winnipeg's Young Guns Fill the Void?

Nikolaj Ehlers' departure to Carolina last summer left a significant hole in Winnipeg's lineup, and the Jets are banking on their youth movement to compensate for losing a 10-year cornerstone who accumulated 520 points during his tenure. Cole Perfetti, Brad Lambert, and Nikita Chibrikov represent the organization's best hope to replace Ehlers' production, though none have proven they can consistently deliver at his level.
