Confirmed with Link: Jensen + 5th to WAS for Madison Bowey + 2020 2nd

[lilidk]

Washington been so good for so long. They should give us better return 2020 than this year

 

[Ricelund]

I'm surprised too. Holland said "there was a difference of opinion" at the presser, which could mean anything. Maybe parts were edited out that Kahn heard, Here is a video at FP
What went into the Detroit Red Wings' decision to trade Nick Jensen

"Difference of opinion," i.e. Yzerman didn't want to re-sign him.

Looks like Bowey will be sitting at first... A little frustrated

Eh, besides Hronek and Green, the other six are interchangeable. Would be nice to see him in action, though.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I'm holding out they can somehow trade daley

I’m hoping for this too. Maybe we get lucky and one of Pittsburgh’s dmen have a scare.

the descriptions of read about bowey remind me of Brendan smith. Great physical specimen, dumb as hell

If Brendan Smith didnt make a bunch of money, he would still be a solid bottom pairing dman that might make mistakes but his athleticism also led to him making some nice ones as well. He provides some toughness on the back end too. If the wings got a second rounder plus a 1 million dollar Brendan Smith for Jensen thats a pretty good deal

If you're referring to the press release video of Ken Holland talking, he's saying "difference of opinion" between he and Jensen [on value and term]. Not sure how you came to the conclusion you came up with.

Wouldn't it be "wings got a second rounder plus a 1 million dollar poor mans Brendan Smith for Jensen thats a pretty good deal"? Smith is offensively gifted and had more of a physical edge. I think Smith is a better skater too. I don't know how DUMB (hockey IQ) Bowey has because honestly he looks like he severely lacks confidence in his Capital's games. Lacking confidence makes players IQ seem low. Be interesting to see how he looks if/when he gains confidence.

I was joking.

We'll see. Smith was just breaking into the NHL at Boweys age now. Boweys only really played one season of NHL hockey at about 14 mins a night, pretty hard to draw judgement. He might be a poor mans Brendan Smith right now but if he develops a bit in the next couple years I'm sure he can get to that level.

Hes a complete wild card so I'm not gonna judge until he plays some games. Not even this season but next season when he has a camp and everything with the team and actually plays some minutes. Way too early to call him anything yet really, hes definitely got potential to be better than Smith

You should know better than that. Tsk tsk.

Jensen sat out today's Caps game too

 

[19 for president]

He's a solid gamble. Wings d is a lot less pressure for a young D then the defending champs. Maybe he can get his focus right with a bit more patience and less pressure. If not the Wings can dump him sometime next season.

Would like to see one of Daley or Ericsson follow Jensen before Monday.

Going with the below for next season wouldn't be bad. I'd even bring Kronner back as a 6/7.

Green-DD
Ericsson/ Daley-Hronek
Cholo-Bowey

If you can land a guy like Karlsson go for it. If you can solidify the D next year, I do think this team couls compete for a playoff spot and maybe even surprise a team.

If Kronwall comes back he won't be a 6/7. He's our top defender this season and he's not going to fall off that much in 7 months. And players under him aren't going to be better than him in 7 months.

Yes. I would be happy if Kronwall decided to come back.

"When he arrives, the Capitals will be expecting him to be a top-pairing, do-it-all defenseman as he has been with Kelowna and Team Canada."

Hf can't be wrong can they??

 

[avssuc]

Snippin doobies.

I think we need a motivational speaker to set these guys 'on the right path'.

[Petes2424]

Bowey has all the tools. He’ll be given the chance to play a role he wasn’t given on Washington. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

You’ll know what he is by this time next year. It’s the type of guy you don’t give up on but obviously the Caps hit that point.

On top of the 2nd rounder though, it can only be an extreme win for Detroit if he hits his potential. If he doesn’t work out, they still have the #2.

Great trade, hats off to Holland
