"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."

The Hurricanes are expected to add Nikolaj Ehlers, the best remaining player in NHL free agency, according to an insider.

Nikolaj Ehlers could choose his destination on the second day of NHL free agency after becoming one of the rare top players available not to sign in the first six hours or so.
