Clearly, Roy lacked offensive talent at his disposal this season, and he was limited in what he could achieve as head coach.
His General Manager wants to address this.
This would indeed be a significant change for Patrick Roy to be able to rely on a player of Nikolaj Ehlers' caliber.
It should be noted that Ehlers is available on the trade market, as he has indicated that he does not intend to sign a new contract with the Winnipeg Jets (similar to Martin Necas with the Carolina Hurricanes).
This is interesting news for Patrick Roy's squad, and we hope it works out for them.
Adding Ehlers to Mathew Barzal, Bo Horvat, Ilya Sorokin, and Noah Dobson, begins to form a very strong core for the New York Islanders.
They have solid depth, they play well, they have a good coach, they have strong goaltenders, and they are very complete, but they lack pure talent.
This is what Ehlers would bring.
A story to follow!
