What has this guy done to be called up? Hopefully it's to give him some easy minutes and then extract value in the deadline.
Guy is a bust, plain and simple. Been saying it forever.

If Frankie was available, that'd be 3 rookie 2011 draft picks on the roster:
Not that I expect Jensen to do much of anything during this call-up.

The second round in 2011 was crazy. So loaded with talent.
- Jensen (29)
- Clendening (36)
- Corrado (150)

Ahead of who? I'm of the opinion that Jensen's offensive prowess is much overrated. Hasn't put up big numbers at any level in his career.

He still has another year left on his ELC so his last chance will be next year.

Does not seem like he deserves a callup at all.

Will he even play?
By all accounts Willie is very happy with McMillan and there's no way Kassian is taken out after a 2 goal performanc.

He's probably just called up for back-up. We're at 12 forwards without him. For a 13th forward not likely to play, we might as well take the guy who is doing nothing for Utica - whom we might as well teach a thing or two while he sits. Maybe reward him with a game.
Agree that something must be brewing on the trade front....no other reason to recall him imo.....thinking he could be part of a deadline deal, or maybe replaces somebody else who'll be moved....another guy who, like Kassian, looked promising down the stretch last year...but has definitely taken a step backward in the AHL this year....seems to have all the tools, but something is missing with the compete level
...and Gaunce has really turned it up as of late. It looks like he is developing nicely in the second half of his first pro season. Who knows what his outcome is, but progress is progress.
Gaunce deserves it more but would love to see if this callup will give Jensen some confidence. Last time he played up here he was pretty good. Still remember that Jeff carter like wrister.

i think JB is trying to see what he has in his cupboard so he can figure out which of the vets he'll move at the deadline
Higgins/Hansen/Richie/Matthias are all guys I can see being moved to contenders
This may be why they grabbed McMillan, in the hopes he could take the role of a higgins or hansen
My guess is Higgins will be moved, and Jensen is being tested to see where he's at developmentally and if he's ready to play full time.
Sedin Sedin Burrows
Jensen Bones Vrbata
Dorsett Matthias Kassian

McMillan
Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is pencilling him in. None of the Comet injury callups on defense ever got a sniff until our present injury crisis. I'm guessing Jensen is the extra forward, not displacing McMillan.

I tend to look at the callup this way as well. Jensen can get some practice or games with the big club in and hit the reset button when he goes back to Utica. He's digging himself a hole down there right now.

I understand Jensen isn't playing well right now in Utica, but he started off the year strong didn't he? Plus, last year he played well with the Sedins while he was up, he was one of the only Canucks scoring. I think it's a bit premature to be saying he's a bust, he might just be a player who plays better around NHL players.

Huh, I thought it was based off the age of their first contract year, not when the contract was signed. One would think years that slide would not count as the initial year for waiver exemptions. (i.e. giving him 3 years until waiver exemption).

Effectively that is how it works. If you sign at 18 you get 5 years, if you sign at 19 you get 4 years, and if you sign at 20 you get 3 years. And if you're an 18 or 19 year old who plays 11+ NHL games in a season your exemption drops to 3 years. So normally it lasts the length of the ELC for skaters (it's a year longer for goalies). The result is when your contract kicks in is the same time your 3 years to waiver eligibility kicks in (though there might be the odd exception).
My point was more that whether you're playing pro hockey or not doesn't affect waiver eligibility. A 19 year old playing non-NHL pro hockey will still be exempt until he's 23 while a signed 20 year old playing in the CHL will have the first of his 3 years exemption kick in even though he's not playing pro. So Jensen's waiver eligibility was unaffected by him playing in the SEL and AHL in 12-13.
