I think it very unlikely that he will play in NHL this season, but will be expected to massacre the QMJHL for Halifax this season. [No pressure ]
Perhaps if he really have added on some weight.
Then maybe 9 matches late in the season?
Then again if the Winnipeg offense really doesn't get going at all, they might try him earlier.
Nic ehlers will play tomorrow in the young stars classic vs the flames.

Will play vancouver later with nicklas jensen on the roster
Damn, Ehlers is suuuuch a stud.
Really cool tournament really. Never seen it before but was interesting to see all those young players....
Cant see why he shouldnt get 9 games in the big league if he exceeds expectations at the training camp. There are reports of him gaining quite some weight in the last few months.
If he does good in the preseason, there is no reason they shouldnt just try him out in the beginning. If he then explodes in the Q and Winnipeg are out of the picture regarding a playoffspot when he returns from WJC I would seriously think about getting him up permanently for the rest of the season.
Everybody is talking about how he needs to show something more in the Q, but I really dont understand that argument. If he is ready for NHL then he should be there, not in the Q.

Well, I jinxed that then....Ehlers is not playing this game . Has a minor groin injury so they are resting him to make sure he is ready for camp.
Ehlers is just insane. Any body who has not watched last nights game, really should. 2 goals, one extra goal in the shootout and an assist. Put in a few decent hits too,.
Watched it live and lovede every minute of it! Kid is dominant!
Highlights from the Jets - Oilers game yesterday, from the 3rd period on. Shows Ehlers two fantastic goals in the third, and Petan and Ehlers shootout goals to secure the win for the Jets:

Absolutely loving Ehlers - fantastic draft pick, and I think he's going to make the Jets think really hard during TC and the pre-season about sending him back to the Q. Hope he gets a few games in regular season as well, even if they do decide to eventually send him back.
