Tiger Gino Brash Ryp Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I like the trade. Fair for both sides. Jensen was highly unlikely to crack the lineup and we'll see what etem can bring. At best he's good enough to push out a vet (higgins) when hansen is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Big fan of this trade. There was a high chance that Niklas Jensen wasn't going to be re-signed this offseason. I believe Emerson Etem will be a solid contributor this team that is transitioning. A future line of Etem/Horvat/Shinkaruk could be intriguing down the line. I like these low risk/high reward trades... especially when it dumps disappointing (to put it lightly) prospects.... whether it be Alex Mallet in the Pedan deal. The only thing I'm not thrilled by is giving up a 6th rounder. I thought Benning loved picks... why does he keep giving them up hahaha. Let's just hope that 6th rounder is a dud like the Canucks own Mike Williamson and not a Mark Stone type. Either way, this is a great deal for the Canucks. They win this trade on paper, right now. The Canucks really need to ink Curtis Valk to that entry deal soon.... (Also, with the open spot in Utica, I assume Curtis Valk will find his way into that lineup considering he's on an AHL deal right now and the fact that since his return to hockey... Valk has 3 points in 2 games with Kalamazoo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm pretty excited about this especially his playoff stats at every level. He brings everything Jensen has skill wise ++ and isn't shy to battle ether. He will mature into a solid 3rd line player for us and maybe more. Where as Jensen couldn't handle a bottom 6 role and can't even do better than .5ppg in the minors. Very little indication there that he was ever going to be an NHL regular.

oldnews Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 To repeat: Etem with 30.9% offensive zone starts (only Dominic Moore with lower on an AV team that likes to have a D zone start specialized line) Has a relative corsi of +0.2. Arguably, outstanding underlying numbers. http://www.behindthenet.ca/nhl_statistics.php?ds=30&s=63&f1=2015_s&f2=5v5&f5=NYR&c=0+1+3+5+4+6+7+8+13+14+29+30+32+33+34+45+46+63+67# Last year in Anaheim, corsi on of +8.31 was the best, bar none on the Ducks. http://www.behindthenet.ca/nhl_statistics.php?ds=30&s=30&f1=2014_s&f2=5v5&f5=ANA&c=0+1+3+5+4+6+7+8+13+14+29+30+32+33+34+45+46+63+67# Epic fail RW.

Okay, why did we get him for so low a price? There must be something going on here, must there? Why did no other team offer more (anything really, as Jensen is likely to be in Europe next year) than a sixth? What's up with Etem? He just sounds too much of a steal.

I think it's a good trade on our part, if Etem can find his footing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 One thing to consider about Etem is how his trade from Anaheim affected him. I mean essentially having your home town team draft you had to have been a thrill for him. He seemed to be doing everything right in Anaheim and progressing pretty well from what I could see. And then all of a sudden they dump you out of nowhere. It had to have stung a little. Just as he was starting to find his game as a young NHLer he's shipped away from his family to the other side of the country. Not only that, he's expected to jump right in and replace what Hagelin brought. That had to have been a bit of a shock for him. I think Van should be a better fit for him. Less expectations, familiar coach and teammates, and he's close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like from training camp they could see Etem wasnt a fit with the team or their system. I just want us to not put pressure on the kid. If he plays a good couple games or scores a goal, lets not say hes gonna be a 30g scorer. Lets just be happy we flipped Jensen for a player who can hopefully play a style of game we will like and do that on the Canucks roster. If we sent a pick like a 2nd I could see there being more pressure on him to perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
