Kent Hughes May Be Eyeing Signing of NHL Star and Patrik Laine's Close Friend This Summer
We experienced an interesting moment live from Winnipeg during an interview with Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine, involving Nikolaj Ehlers. We know that Laine and Ehlers are very good friends in real life.
We had especially seen a great example of this with an interesting statement from Nikolaj Ehlers right after Patrik Laine was acquired by the Canadiens.
Everyone knows it's not easy to go through certain challenges, and what he went through could have happened to anyone.
I love this guy. I still talk to him.
Seeing him play in Montreal now is going to be really cool for him. It's a city that loves hockey.
He loves hockey. I think he'll do really well there.»

A new statement from Patrik Laine regarding Nikolaj Ehlers
Yesterday, while the Montreal Canadiens were visiting Winnipeg to face the Jets, Laine made the following statement:
«I brought him a signed (Canadiens) jersey to cheer him up a bit.
No, he asked me for it, I didn't just bring it.»

You can imagine, it's a bit of a dream.
Indeed, Nikolaj Ehlers will be an unrestricted free agent (UFA), and will be able to sign anywhere he wants.
He has often mentioned how great Montreal is as a hockey city, and how much he appreciates Patrik Laine.
He is a name to watch, as Kent Hughes will certainly try to sign a big name on July 1st.
Could Ehlers sign in Montreal next summer?
Ehlers, 28 years old, has 25 points in 24 games this season, and he is a superb forward. He is truly excellent.
This is a story to follow closely.
