Another twabby special!

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

That seems pretty steep. It had to be Bowey and the pick? Not one or the other?

 

[hb12xchamps]

Not liking the 2nd added in but Jensen apparently had some suitors poking around

 

[stanleycaps18]

I am ok with this. Our PK and D for the playoffs will be strong. And I was a Bowey fan. Good luck to him going forward.

 

[twabby]

I still don't see where he fits in. Jensen is way too good to be a 7D, the price paid is enough where you think he'd be in the lineup, but Djoos also needs to be in the lineup.

I wonder if there's another move to come still because right now the D is a logjam.

Caps get a 5th coming back

 

[Misery74]

Orpik is now the 7th D. Right?

I didn’t like Bowey, and like this move, but don’t want to lose Djoos.

 

[Silky mitts]

Applicable

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I think Jensen and Djoos have the potential to be a great pairing

 

[ovikovy817]

Righty, can play 20+ minutes/night. If there is an injury in the TOP 4, it's good that he can handle big minutes.
Hope he can PK.

But it looks like Djoos will be #7 now.
Btw, was he injured last game? only played 8 or 9 minutes

I’ll eat another round of crow for talking smack last year if these moves work out. In fact I’ll be happy to make it an annual tradition for ever doubting Big Mac.

I certainly like that he’s being active and I think the team will respond to new blood.

 

[EroCaps]

I like the Jensen addition.

Caps adding two good skating players before the postseason should help.

Still want Bura moved for a consistent contributor.

you guys make me laugh. Orpik is not going to be scratched. If someone other than Djoos is in danger of getting scratched, its Kempny

Is Jensen an RFA or a UFA?

Oh I know but I also it think it depends on matchups. Djoos Jensen makes more sense playing a fast team like Tampa but I like Orpik in the lineup against a more physical team like CBJ.

 

[Monsterrain]

I like the move but i have no idea who’s going to sit. I guess juice but man maybe something else is brewing. U give up a 2nd he’s going to play.

 

[txpd]

If Djoos is struggling with his leg then, its pretty clear where Jensen skates.

Meanwhile if they are actively unhappy with 2 and 9 might we be seeing more 74 44 at even strength?

Edit. I guess it doesn't matter if Djoos is hurting or not. Jensen skates 3RD. The question is where are all the LD? Is Djoos going to move Orlov down? Is Djoos going to move Kempny down? Is Orpik going to move somebody down?

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Is Jensen an RFA or a UFA?

UFA. He's 28 so a little too old to be an RFA.

 

[Holtbyisms]

I like it. Bowey's time was up and needed a change of scenery. Unfortunately his playing time had lowered his value so much we had to throw in a decent pick as well. Oh well. Life goes on and I like our team more at the end of the day than I did at the start. BMac clearly wants to try and go for it again. Now the last chip I could see falling is Burakovsky.

 

[RandyHolt]

Bowey out, RHD coming back, I was fine with that. I felt it was early to bail on Bowey but obviously BMac was done with him once Siggy got the DC flat.

Almost like clockwork, we add a RHD at the dead. Only this time, we shipped one out.
