16ToWin Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I cant understand why this trade has become an issue? Is it because we see big moves from other teams right now? Jensen was lost in the mix.. and doing nothing for the teams main issues.. Etem was doing nothing for the Rangers either. I see this trade as a new fresh start for both young guys. And if it pans out for either of them.. Great.. If not, we lose absolutely nothing, as Jensen wasn't even a factor anyways. P.s. I am a big Jensen fan. and I hope he thrives in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 1 minute ago, DeNiro said: This is how AV rolls with young players. He probably labelled Etem as a bottom 6 only player, so he gave him the bottom 6 treatment and tried to force him to be a shutdown guy. If he was given cushy O-zone starts like Hodgson, I bet his numbers would be quite different. I personally think there's more to his game than just a crash and bang bottom 6 player, just like with Kassian. They tried to turn him into something he wasn't. Etem scored almost a goal a game in his last season of junior. You don't do that if you're just a bottom 6 plug. I'm not saying he's a bottom six plug, but bigger, stronger guys in Jr. can score a lot of goals. Tom Sestito did too. Plus, even if he plays that hard to play against bottom six role, that's still a big win for JB, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SedinMadness Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 5 hours ago, Coconuts said: New York also gets a late draft pick, per TSN. Learn to read will ya, as per his post. Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the Canucks have acquired right wing Emerson Etem from the New York Rangers in exchange for Nicklas Jensen and a 6th round pick in 2017.

That being said I do think he can succeed in Vancouver in a top 9 roll. As it is the Nyr would risk losing Etem to waivers and next year we would risk losing Jensen to waivers. It's a change of scenery for both players which is what they both need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but the goals he scored were of the speedy skilled variety, not the stand front of the net and be impossible to move ones. I think his skillset would translate more to the NHL than Sestito's.

I'm simply (and not doing such a good job of it) trying to say if Etem is a bottom six guy, with his size, speed, agressiveness, and skill, that's a big win for us.

I'm sure he's at the point where he's willing to trade him for a 7th with retained salary. Just need Higgins to waive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinkaruk posted that on his Twitter bio prior to being drafted and it's still posted on there today. They were teammates in Medicine Hat. I hope this means we trade Higgins and call up Shinkaruk to reunite the MH connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Interesting trade. This is what Jensen needed to have any hope to advance his career. He was stuck here for some reason. Nice pickup by Benning, hopefully Jensen gets it together in another org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hateleafs Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 NO.....I always liked Jensen .if he ever had bin giving a chance like baertchi he would have excelled I believe. he's gonna do good in new York . he should have bin in lineup 2014 15 season.was leading everyone in points that preseason I believe.
