The NHL Trade Deadline has passed but that didn't stop Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers from making a big trade on Saturday.
Ehlers was warming up during pregame skate and spotted a sign with an intriguing offer: candy for a puck.
He strapped on his general manager hat and skated up to the glass. Ehlers was shown two candy options and after careful deliberation, chose the option to his right.
All smiles, Ehlers secured the candy, then flipped the puck, which took two attempts to get over the glass but Ehlers is, after all, a rookie GM.
