Apricot Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC 5m5 minutes ago Jensen BTW was approaching waiver-eligible status. So, VAN did not want to risk losing him without a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm good with this trade! etem has size shown flashes still young, has higher upside then Jensen and more likely to be an NHLer in my opinion. plus shinky connection could rekindle his fires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apricot Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 38s39 seconds ago Our newest #Canucks forward, @tweetem_up, will wear no. 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Great trade, Jensen was never going to work out so this is a win for Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Etem hasn't done much in the NHL yet so I don't look at this as a massive win... but he's certainly got more potential than Jensen. Hopefully Etem's still got room to grow and hasn't hit his ceiling already. Part of me wonders what this is gonna mean from a numbers game up front though. You trade an AHL forward for an NHL forward and suddenly we have 15 forwards plus Sutter who's injured. Virtanen going back to junior and Vey to the AHL, I guess?

Change of scenery could kickstart him and turn him into a useful NHLer so this is a good deal. If anything Jensen a bust sure, but Etem? At least he has put up amazing numbers in the AHL and a bit in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Currently a nothing for nothing trade. Vancouver ends up with a player that has a higher ceiling, but has a greater chance of being a complete bust. NYR gets a player with a lower ceiling but probably with a better chance of becoming an NHL regular (a Higgins type of 3rd liner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Love this deal. Jensen wasn't going to go anywhere here in Vancouver and his time was running up. Etem brings a solid two way game and plays a grinding style of game. Throws hits. Aggressive on the forecheck and has great hands. Let's just hope he is able to succeed here and bring what he was suppose to bring when Anaheim first drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Kid seems to have put up numbers in every league 'except' the NHL. Let's hope his offensive side catches up with him at this level. I remember watching him in the dub and seem to recall that for a guy with such physical gifts he didn't really seem to want to use them to his advantage (doesn't throw the body or play with much grit) - basically just like Jensen actually. That was a while ago so hopefully my memory is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 its a fresh start for both guys, #26 Emerson Etem welcome to vancouver! get some practice time in then see you in a game on the road trip? I dont think this would affect Virtanen to junior would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
