So moving on to another trade that the Ottawa senators made
0:02
this one was Jacob Chickren, who I just mentioned. So Jacob Chickren goes to the Washington Capitals
0:08
for Nick Jensen and a third round draft pick. Not the value that Steve Staelis was hoping
0:14
he was gonna get. I don't hate the trade at all. The value is not there, but I think the fit
0:18
and the player type makes the trade make more sense than if you're just looking at
0:24
like if you go in NHL 24 and plug in the players and look at the trade value bar
0:29
it's gonna be very lopsided, I think, but I don't hate this trade as much as the value
0:34
may present it to be a bad trade. What do you think, Dayton? No, I like it
0:40
I think as much as Chickren was good offensively, he was really struggling defensively with this team
0:47
and he just couldn't, ooh, not sure if you guys heard that
0:52
but we've got a thunderstorm going on over in Saskatoon. Just shook my entire upper floor here
0:59
Yeah, wow. Apologies. Yeah, so Chickren hasn't been doing fantastic. He put up good points
1:09
but when he was paired with almost anyone else, he struggled. He didn't have that person that he could rely on
1:16
to play that more defensive role. So to get a really solid defenseman
1:23
from the Capitals in Nick Jensen and also a third round pick, I think is a pretty good win
1:30
And also they save money, right? Nick Jensen's only making 4.05 million until 25, 26
1:37
So they have them locked up longer than they do Chickren, I think. Yeah
1:42
Yeah, okay. Chickren has one year left and Jensen has this year next
1:46
Okay, that's what I thought, but I started questioning myself. I've been a little iffy on some of my stats lately
1:53
but no, I think it's a great deal. I really like Jensen. I think he's underrated
1:58
He can be a 30 point guy. He's only done it like once, but it's in his wheelhouse
2:03
So maybe he can do that with Ottawa too
