Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I like this trade for both clubs. Seems like both are taking a chance on previous history of coach and player. If we can get Etem playing a heavier game on the bottom 6 with some possession and puck pressure mixed in, this is a win for us. Anything more, like a revival of Etem-Shinkaruk, is a huge win. Assuming he's on the big club, this almost certainly means more roster moves are coming. I like that even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 4 minutes ago, oldnews said: Not sure if you're serious or from the future, but Etem scored 61 goals in 65 games in his final year in the Dub (45 the year before), and has been a ppg player in the AHL at age 21 and 22. There is plenty of potential upside there. Three half seasons in the NHL before the age of 23, wadr, are not going to seal this young man's fate as a "bottom 6 at best." i just dont want to throw up top 6 in the discussion, lets just see if he can earn an everyday roster spot for now and see how he progresses, if he becomes an energy bottom 6 guy and nothing more i still think its a win for us, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguez Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Meh. Etem doesn't excite me at all. Neither did Jensen. This is a minor deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 it helps nyr out as jensen is waiver exempt for this year, etem was not, so they traded him for a prospect who needs a change and didnt have to risk loosing etem for free on waivers. its a decent move by nyr. they could have tried to packaged him in a deal i suppose but this was a much easier move to make im sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how would you classify Jensen as a Canuck pick eh? Good? Real good? This is a reclaim project for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I HAVE 2 QUESTIONS: 1. WILL HE REPORT TO THE CHELL? 2.IF HE DOES WHO GETS SENT DOWN WHEN ALL INJURIES ARE OVER? DOES THIS MEAN VIRTANEN BACK TO JUNIOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpennyCanuck Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 oh man, I really liked the upside of Jensen. But hes never really been able to play at his full potential on a consistently... Etem, i dont know much about. he seems to have great numbers. Hopefully WD will give him a crack at a top 6 role if someone gets traded. I hope both of them work out well for there teams.

aliboy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If they can get Etem going, this is going to be a great deal for us! This may be very similar to getting Baer going! This kid scored some very nice goals in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Interesting, don't like Etem but we didn't give up much in terms of value so I'm okay with taking on this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Trade Good point about Av's likely role in this trade. 17 minutes ago, AriGold said: Great trade, Jensen was never going to work out so this is a win for Vancouver. It does seem clear that Vancouver had given up on Jensen. He was a long way down the depth chart -- behind guys like Shinkaruk, Gaunce, and Grenier (and Kenins and Virtanen, of course). 15 minutes ago, Provost said: 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). I don't think either player has a good shot at being an NHL regular. Both are low first round picks who have under-performed so far. But Etem is waiver-eligible now while Jensen is still waiver exempt (and is in the AHL) this year. So the Canucks must have felt they had enough roster room to give him a try-out at the NHL level. I don't think he is as good a prospect as Gaunce or Shinkaruk and it will interesting to see how the depth chart sorts itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 wow etem's stock has plummetted jensen and a 6th great steal benning gotta mean theres another trade in works or virtanen will be sent down to whl after lightning game if hitmen trade him to kelowna rockets our overcrowded forward group just got even more crowded lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I really like the fact they've added another heavy bodied NHL-ready right handed shot - that fits nicely with this club's needs. Honey Badger going on IR sucks hard - but Etem will step right in with an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
