Joel Heyman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You guys seriously think he's gonna get a call up this season? I highly doubt the Canucks would choose to try out a rookie at this point in this season when they have an abundance of proven NHL wingers. Let him tear it up with the Wolves for the rest of the season and hopefully they can make a deep playoff run. After that Jensen will have a chance to prove himself in the NHL next season.

Just Jimmy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 When the abundance of proven wingers can get nothing done on the powerplay we might as well give a young, one-shot scorer a chance. We'll give him 5 games to analyse what we have on our hands and to see what moves we'll need to make in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It would be foolish to not see what level he is really at in comparison to NHL players and how he competes at that level. Sure it may not be until the trade deadline or the end of the season but if we realize that we have a capable player on our hands who could play top 9 minutes next year at a really cheap cap hit it would save us money on a potential free agent acquisition or assets in a trade. Jensen is a lethal offensive player and he's showing that he isn't a defensive liability in the AHL right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutesi Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If he looks good in the AHL there's no reason he cdnt get a couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dank.sinatra Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Raymond - Booth Jensen - Schroeder - Hansen Kassian - Lapierre - Weise Get him into the game with someone he's familiar with (played with Schroeder briefly in the AHL) and a fellow Dane in Hansen with limited time but an offensive role and see how he goes from there. This team needs a youth-infusion and a skilled shooter desperately. Would love to see what he does with the twins on this woefull PP: Sedin - Sedin - Jensen Edler - Garrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hope to see some combination of Archibald-Schroeder-Jensen on the PP. Archie screening up front for tips and rebounds, Schroeder on the point - just kidding, Alain ; he belongs on the half-wall and always will - and Jensen on the opposite side for one-timers or just plain ol' sniping. Price and Connauton manning the points on their off-side for the shooting angle. All-Prospect PP here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
