Confirmed Trade: [DET/WSH] Nick Jensen and 2019 5th round pick for 2020 2nd round pick and Madison Bowey

[SI90]

Hes #4-#5 depending on team. Has been very good the last couple of years. Will make a good second pair D on a contending team.

Thank you. So pretty just a really solid guy that can play 2nd/3rd pair.

That’s good.

 

[Reddwit]

Not that steep of a price, Bowey stinks. Good add for Wash.

Yeah, as a Wings fan, I’ve been following potential young D trade options for Detroit, and Bowey has really fallen off the rails.

Still good for Detroit since they can afford to let Bowey make mistakes and learn, at least in the interim.

If this is the return Jensen got, I wonder if Detroit doesn’t withhold salary on Daley and Geeen. Daley moved to create space, Green moved to take advantage of the poor D market.

Bowey is a body, but not one with great prospects for the future. This is Jensen for a 2nd. Not a huge stretch. f***ing hell.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Washington found their new Kempny.

 

[Reddwit]

Bowey is a body, but not one with great prospects for the future. This is Jensen for a 2nd. Not a huge stretch. ****ing hell.

Agreed, but Bowey in Detroit isn’t Bowey in Washington. He has value to a rebuilding team that can try to get him back on track. I doubt it happens, but there’s zero risk here.

Honestly good trade for both sides.

 

[Zirakzigil]

That’s a steep price for a bottom pairing defensemen.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

I thought Bowey was good?

That's a negative, Ghost Rider. Bowey needs more time to develop, something the Caps don't have. This is a great pick up IMO.

 

[Pestilence]

Ah yes Washington, let Zuccarello and Hayes value rise.

But
- Neither of them are a defenseman and
- There is a limit of what teams have assets to pay for. More trades equals less trades in the future.

I like it to. Pretty damn good hockey trade imo. No one got swindled in this one.

 

[JohnCarlsaurus]

He can skate and um... every so often he jumps up in a play. But his real value is to witness him get murdered in the corners while retrieving pucks. It's surprising how it happens every game even with his "great skating"

Not implying they're similar players but it's funny to see this because it also fits another dman to play for both teams.. Mike Green

Im guessing salty flames fan?

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I give Kenny a lot of shit for the overbearing loyalty contracts, but god dann has he been getting good value at the TDL the past few years.

Opposing forecheckers may hesitate to do this now with Tom Wilson roaming the ice, knowing their own defense will likely get it paid back in full.

 

[theVladiator]

This seems like a pure rental for Washington. With Vrana contract coming up and Jensen probably worth somewhere around $3M in the open market, it would take some serious cap tetris to make it work.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Wings fans, what is his + and - ?

I see he can play 20+ minutes/night, that's good, even if he won't play that much with the Caps if there is no injury in the TOP 4.

Good PKer? puck mover?

Very fast and good at carrying the puck but not exactly offensive. Known to make some boneheaded plays in the defensive end and often relies on his speed too much to recover from mistakes.

A huge improvement from last season though. I wanted him on waivers at the beginning of the season.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

This years Mike Kempny?

Guess they traded in the old one for a new one...oops nvm it’s Bowey not Kempny. I stand corrected.

 

[Capathetic]

Steep price to pay but if he is as solid a player as I’m reading here I like it. I have faith in BMac. He’s really shown he feels the pulse on this team unlike McPhee did while he was with Washington.

I still think Caps add a decent faceoff guy before the deadline.

Depends. Caps has some contracts coming of the books.

you can have luke glendening

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

went for a bit less then what we thougt here but not bad at all.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

I couldn't be happier to get Madison "Brickhead" Bowey off the team. He's dead weight and couldn't make a good decision if his life depended on it. He's actually AWFUL. lol.

 

[NHL WAR]

Anyone calling this an overpay should be reminded that SJ gave up 2 2nds for Roman Polak and Nick Spaling (!) a few deadlines back.

 

[ijuka]

Wow, that's way too costly. Like I said, if this is the market, sell everything.

The only mystery is how on earth did Sens get so little for Duchene when all sorts of random replacement guys are getting 2nds and thirds.

Anyone calling this an overpay should be reminded that SJ gave up 2 2nds for Roman Polak and Nick Spaling (!) a few deadlines back.

Two wrongs don't make a right. This isn't maths.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Ken Holland may have waited a little long to blow it up but since he started he's getting great value for the pieces he's selling.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Caps going for full blown speed in their lineup, first getting Hagelin now a fast defensemen in Jensen. They're becoming the pens of 2016, meanwhile pens are become the pens of 2011
