And if you look at the 4th worst one, is it Lars?

It would be Kuzy. Surprisingly Lars is on the positive side. For those not liking the Schultz signing, his ratio was very poor with Pittsburgh last year. It's an interesting stat used by coaches where their systems prioritize puck possession.

It would be sad to see them trade Jensen after his play at the end of the season and playoffs. Really turned the corner and I was definitely not a fan before

 

[hb12xchamps]

Fehervary playing all situations in Hershey is better than some sort of rotation. I also half wonder if the organizational plan is for Fever to play RD in Hershey if there is an AHL season. Would give him more RD reps in less stressful situations

Whats Steve Eminger got to do with all this?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Solid. Way better today than yesterday, lol.

 

[Kalopsia]

Good deal, but I'm definitely confused about what the next move is at this point. I really hope they're not planning on trading Jensen. I think when you're relying on a guy with an injury history like Schultz you need a guy behind him on the depth chart that you can trust to step in if/when he gets hurt (or when he inevitably continues to suck, but that's an argument for another thread...). I like TVR, but he's not a guy I'd feel comfortable bumping up to the 2nd pairing for an extended period, and he'd be a big downgrade on the PK from Jensen.

 

[Hivemind]

I'm not reading into it too much. TVR is being paid like a #7, so he's probably gonna be the #7. Fever still gets LD duty when a LD is injured or slumping.

This is exactly what i was thinking. We will go 4 deep on the right side. Fight for your spots boys. And Shultz is likely to get hurt at some point and you have a righty. Someone on the left goes down, Fever comes up. As for Jensen... we talk about Lavi’s system being good for Shultz and Fever. Will be the same for Jensen. He is arguably our best skater on blue line.

He had one good playoff series, Caps made a franchise altering trade. Back in January Jensen was looked at as one of the worst contracts on the team with Hagelin, better to make a move now when he’s coming off a good performance if he’s not in Lavi’s plans.

Ahh, cryptic, but makes sense now.

 

[trick9]

I hope they can atleast get a late pick in return for Jensen.

 

[Melkor]

Jensen's gone and I'm here for it

If anything, it makes more sense to see Jensen's down period as the outlier in a (relatively short) career of otherwise strong play. The Eminger comparison isn't appropriate.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I was not a fan of Jensen. But he showed me something in the playoffs. With the right system he is what we need. But maybe Lavy doesn’t like him. I don’t see how Schultz is better.

Eminger was in the Capitals organization for 6 years and Jensen has been for 1.25 years with a the .25 coming at the end of a season with no training camp. Totally different situations.

I personally would try and hold onto Jensen.

I’m into a TVR Jensen 3rd pair

 

[max21]

This dude is pretty good right? I think I saw a few people saying they wanted him for different teams also, why is he only 800k?

Aren’t the both RD? I’m super confused on who plays which sides right now

How important is your handness On the third pair I think he would just want the best talent out

Oats completely disagrees with you.

 

[RandyHolt]

Oats completely disagrees with you.

I disagree as well. Remember Carlson at LD? He was TERRIBLE and Todds handling of the D pairs may have cost us the Carolina series.

RD generally have almost NO pro experience at LD but with the US pumping out players that play on their strong hand sides, it should be starting to tilt the scales back towards an even number of LD and RDs in the league. For maybe the first time in NHL history.

 

[DWGie26]

What kind of crazy shit is GMBM cooking up? We have 4 NHL caliber RD. And one or two that can play in NHL. And those two don’t want to be stuck as leaders in Hershey (just like Lewington didn’t). Lewington wanted out so bad that he took a two way contract. I don’t know. But there has to be something coming. And I don’t think it is Jensen. He fits Lavi system well. But that is the only thing that makes sense. Unless we now move Schultz but nobody likes that deal.
