When I first saw this post I thought you were being kind of a ****, then I re-read the OP's post and just about died. Well played.

Any word on how Jensens off season is going?
Has he been skating? if so how has he looked?
Lots of gym time? any news at all?
He had a strong finish to a horrible start at the AHL level and showed flashes of top6 forward type play with the Canucks. Guy is a natural sniper... He could be on the verge of a 15 goal 35 point season...

Yea id love to know as well. He's kind of the forgotten man and it's weird how there is literally zero news about his off season.

He's probably a "forgotten man" because he likely went back to Denmark for much of the offseason. And it's Denmark.
No offense to any Danes, but it's not exactly dead center in the hockey spotlight for us.

Kind of annoys me how there isn't much info at all about players off-season other than stuff like bio-steel camps. As someone whose interested in fitness I'd like to see what different players are doing in the off-season to prepare
The players, particularly those in markets like ours, spend the whole season under a microscope. Can you blame them for wanting a few months of peace, quiet, and privacy?

True enough, I'm sure a few wouldn't mind sparing an hour or two filming their gym session but whatever

Cool article on Tryamkin and what the Canucks drafting him means for the franchise.

I still think Schroeder has a chance to become a Desharnais type player in the league. His biggest problem with us is that he would get injured right when a spot opened up for him. He had some truly awful luck here. I think with a more stable AHL environment he could have done a bit better for us at that level as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he have an alright first-stint with the Moose way back when?
Yeah, Schroeder ain't going anywhere. Had all the chances in the world here. Couldn't do a thing. I think he made one nice pass in his however many minutes of ice-time.

No, I agree, he didn't actually have a tonne of chances. He had about 30 games one season and then around 25 the next - playing with no one who was spectacular. I think a kid needs a bit more time and trust to break into the league. Imagine if the Sedins were given that ice time in their first few seasons and were then traded?
They didn't really show too much their first couple of seasons.
Having said that, he never really was a difference maker at the AHL level, and he just may not have the grit to make it for his size in the NHL. He's not a buzz saw, and he may not have enough skill to finesse his way through...will be interesting to see what happens in Minnesota for him. Hope he makes it, but if I were a betting man, I wouldn't go all in.

Yeah, all the best to a guy like him, I was super excited when we drafted him, but it really didnt work out.
