SkeeterHansen Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 When he was drafted, TSN compared him to Jussi Jokinen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks-4-Life Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Honestly? Rick Nash. They are both big bodies who use their size advantage to protect the puck and make room for themselves. Neither use their size to lay out devastating hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossram Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 TSN did compare him to Jussi Jokinen and honestly, I think they are similar. Jensen is bigger, but watching him play he doesn't use his size to play physical. He uses it to protect the puck. He's not a powerforward either. He's more of a dangler/sniper. So Jokinen is comparable. As much as people might hate to hear it, he's almost just like Semin. Same size, abilities (Wicked wrister), skilled, but not overly physical. Hopefully he has a better work ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMyMeMine Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Haven't seen him play huh? Tell me that isn't shades of Markus Naslund... He's got a wicked wrister, great lateral mobility, and speed to burn. Size wise he's obviously bigger, but he relies alot on his wrist shot, just like Nazzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
