DeltaSwede Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's not usually my style to not support a player that is apart of the Canucks organization but have never seen anything special in Jensen. When the pick was made, it was the first time I couldn't get excited about a first rounder. Really didn't see an NHL future in him then and I expect that trend to continue. He showed flashes in the year he spent in the SHL and I expect that to be his next destination which by no means is a negative thing for him, can make a good living there and play good hockey in a good league. From reports that we can't confirm Benning wanted Etem as a part of the Kesler trade and has now gotten his man. He has struggled but just like Beartschi, he will have a hard time finding a better place for him to be given a longer look. Really excited to see what he can bring. Jensen was a non factor in the organization so I am very happy with this trade. Maybe this will sway some of the JB haters just a tad towards some level of intelligence.

Sedin, Sedin, Hansen, Vbrata, Sutter, Horvat, Baertschi, McCann, Cracknell, Higgins, Burrows, Prust, Dorsett, Virtanen, Etem, Vey Hamhuis, Pedan, Sbisa, Tanev, Edler, Weber, Bartkowski, Hutton, Miller Markstrom 3 players will have to be moved. AHL, Waivers, or trade. This is good though, no? It gives us extra injury protection and the ability to move two bodies if totally healthy. You've gotta figure the two guys are Vrbata and Higgins.

I can see a similar thing happening to Etem, steps in scores a goal and then the hype from the fan-base goes up to a 1st liner and after he fails to achieve. It's Linden Vey 2.0 all over again or he can rip it up. who knows. kind of like you and bo sangs AHL stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good in the playoffs two years ago doing it. Needs consistency of effort. He is not strictly a banger, and has a top quality nhl shot. The question may be whether he can get over his 'star' enough to become a real star. That's my assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to depend on how long Hansen it out for. Vbrata, Higgins, maybe sending vey back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year will also be interesting because Kenins, Grenier will also be waiver eligible. And there's Gaunce, Shinkaruk - but they aren't waiver eligible. I don't see all these youngsters on the team next year. veterans fixed it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Etem is decent though, not a bad trade. Hopefully both players succeed with a change of scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 This guy has been on the CDC wish list for at least 2 years. Trading Jensen has also been on CDC's wish list for the last 2 years. Im happy for CDC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Awesome trade, Again JB's trying to fast forward the rebuild a bit by trading for a more developed prospect who's ready to step in for a prospect and pick. Jensen was never gonna be a player in Vancouver. He's a one trick pony and didn't do that 1 trick very well. We get another big power forward type who can develop into a very nice piece for the 3rd line in a year or two. Very nice young piece of the puzzle. Great job JB, love this trade.
