[Trade] Canucks Trade F Jensen to Rangers for F Etem


Recommended Posts

Good they got something for Jensen since he was never going to get a fair chance in Vancouver. That said etem is yet another third/fourth liner to go with the Dozen this club already has. Except now we have another NHL contract and still no depth at d or any position other than 4th liners. Awsome.

They've been calling Etem a big disappointment in NY, but realistically:

-he was getting 30.9% offensive zone starts (with 41.7% finishes)

Etem also had a relative corsi of +0.2 so his possession game in that context was pretty decent, and you can't expect a lot of production out of a young player in that context, playing 11 minutes every other night or so.

He's also a +10 in turnover differential, with 13 takeaways and only 3 giveaways. 

Love the guy's shot, has pretty decent mobility and his two way game is not bad at all for a young player. 

Very happy to pick this guy up.  In alot of way, a lot like Jensen.

Jensen showed he has scoring ability when given the chance in a top 6 role in the NHL. I don't like this trade at all.

He did, problem is he was never going to get that chance again in Vancouver.

Etem is a bottom 6 guy at best, thats all I expect out of him if he busts oh well we tried, if he excels great

In your post you can replace 'etem' with 'virtanen'.
