Friedman: Nick Jensen connected to Maple Leafs

[Vitto79]

See That's another reason I'd target him because I'm not sure Eberle costs a 1st, I'm also not sure he doesn't.

But you got, Hanifin, Henrique, Guntzle in terms of rentals that might be it, Eberle might get it but he isn't a lock for it in my opinion.

Wennberg? I'd be legitimately shocked if he did.

I think a Eberle and Wennberg combo gets a 1st

 

[trellaine201]

Leafs dumpster diving because there strapped for cash and draft picks.

 

[andora]

Jensen has been underrated and underappreciated for years

Together as a combo sure sure, I meant individually

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't think you are taking the cost of retention or the fact that we have no second rounders into account.

Sure, if we could get Eberle or Wennberg at 75% retained for a 3rd rounder then sign me up.

It's not that I don't like these guys...it's that I don't like the cost. What do you think it might cost if not a first? If you are not paying a premium for retention then what moves are you making to fit one of them in?

This is a Jensen thread, the same questions apply to him.

I think Jensen probably does cost a 1st, at least that's probably the initial ask because Jensen has term.

Jensen isn't the guy I'd want but I could absolutely see him costing a 1st.

This is mccabe/lafferty trade all.over again. 1st + 4th/5th pick + b tier prospects for jensen (50%) + dowd.

 

[CatchyTune]

I hope this is a swap of lily + 1st pick for jensen (50%) retained.

It wont be Lilly, that would be a massive overpay. Jensen wouldnt command him, and I cant think of a realistic add Washington has.

Jensen is not dumpster diving, he's good.

I would love that!

 

[um]

Is he a legit top 4 defenseman? Thats the only thing I’d trade our 1st for.

Yes.

 

[drede]

Okay. So leafs looking more old (1980-1990 born), slow d-men.
Probably they should fix their goalie problems first.

Woll is back no issues with goaltending

Lilly isn't going anywhere

 

[Petes2424]

He’s a perfect fit. They need another Dman who can relieve pressure, retrieve pucks well, and most importantly, move the puck well. Those are his strengths.

Jensen is definitely NOT slow. Not by any means. Great skating speedy defenseman
