Now I'm confused.

[Liam Smith]

Wow. What a steal. Does this mean Jensen is moved?

 

[Corby78]

So is fever not playing up this year? Is Siegs part of a trade? What am I missing?

Aren't they both LHD?

TVR is a RHD, correct? (Just like, uh... our new Schultz? And Jensen?)

 

[caps4cup]

Awesome deal! Just what I was hoping for! Jensen likely moved now and a 3rd pair rotation of Siegenthaler/Fever/TVR, which is fantastic!

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Love this move. Still young and has potential.

 

[RandyHolt]

TVR will throw em. I like the signing

Trevor van Riemsdyk vs. Justin Abdelkader, March 10, 2017 - Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings

Nice signing. Now we have too many D even if we dont graduate Fehervary, someone has to be traded otherwise I dont see how that makes sense. Either we trade Jensen or maybe Siegenthaler?

 

[Langway]

Very smart move. Cheap enough to where he could just be the #7 but, yeah, you'd think this would mean Jensen is gone. That would be something of a shame but getting off the term is probably wise. Maybe Vancouver?

TVR was born within a day of Orlov so he's not all that young. He may have a sliver of upside remaining and was pretty solid in a depth role for Carolina (which included some PKing but not as much as Jensen last season).

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

As others mentioned, you now have 4 RHD: Carlson, Jensen, TVR and Schultz.
On the LH side, assuming Kempny is done, you only have Orlov and Dillon.

GMBM should consider flipping Jensen for an equivalent LHD.

Wow. It is the Charcot shower with our GM. One day: cold, next day: Hot.

I'm wondering if Siegenthaler might be asking more than what BMac wants to pay him?

You also have Siege and Fever though. And TVR can replace Jensen’s PK mins.

He is traded anyway.

True, but not sure how they feel about either player for next season. With the goal being to maximize likely the last 2-3 good years from 8 & 19, they will probably try to keep them around as an insurance policy more than anything.

 

[Corby78]

I’ll be honest I would rather go
Carlson
Jensen
TVR
on the right side and trade away Schultz. I really have a bad feeling he is going to be a big liability.

I don't like the Schultz deal, but he isn't getting traded.

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

Awesome we can move Schultz now

I think they’re pretty confident in Siegenthaler considering he was their go to defensemen on the PK last year and I don’t think they like Jensen over him enough to warrant the difference in cap hit, considering how tight the team is to the cap. I would’ve been fine not signing Schultz and only TVR, but this definitely looks like the writing is on the wall for Jensen right now.

I was a big fan of the trade for him. It took him a while to figure it out here but he looked good when he finally did. For some reason he just looked very unsure and uncomfortable out there. I thought Panik looked the same way when he first got here. That being said, even with Jensen figuring it out, I think you take TVR at 800k over Jensen at 2.5mil any day of the week.
