Are we prepared to pay him north of 7m for 7 seasons?

If Conroy gave any indication that he wasn't going to try to build on last season's success (beyond selling Andersson off) then I would be on board, but it looks like he wants to get in to the playoffs. Ehlers has been close to a ppg in 4 of the last 5 seasons, there's no question he would be our best winger- unless he pulls a Huberdeau, and cuts his production in half. He is injury prone, though.
