Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers Reveals What Led Him to Jets Exit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Winnipeg Jets finished the 2024–25 season with the league’s best regular-season record but crashed out of the playoffs before making it to the conference finals for the third consecutive season.

"I told (the Jets) they didn't do anything wrong," Ehlers said. "I loved it there. I love the organization, the people in it, the guys."

Nikolaj Ehlers, after a decade with the Winnipeg Jets, has signed a six-year, $51 million deal with the Carolina Hurricanes. Ehlers expressed his gratitude to Winnipeg's fans, teammates, and the organization in a heartfelt farewell message.
