I think they prefer jbd to hamonic. And I think they would prefer to find someone else to play over jbd

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Or bring in a third pairing D who can play either side. This would also have a the benefit of having flexibility in case Kleven falters or too many injuries on the same side.
I feel like Jensen is exactly the type of player that would flourish here. Last few years we went for the shiny toys on the market but this offseason you could see that Staois was targetting guys that can play a role well without flash.
I think out the moves that were done, adding Jensen is my favourite. Great skater, great defensively, can make a pass and jump in the play when necessary.
Chychrun is a flashy name and with all respect to him I think Jensen is just as good a player even though they are different. When you look at their impact on the game for what we need, Jensen will have a more important impact on this team than Chychrun would. The trade may seem like a loss based on what we gave for Chychrun initially but looking at it from an on-ice point of view - this is a win for this team. We must differenciate those two trades. The first one was a loss and it is what it is. This trade for Jensen was about as good a deal as you can get in a very difficult market for RHD.
People screamed at the value on this trade but I'm confident this will be a win for this team. Perfect fit for what we need. Jensen will be the Kuba type player that will come in and have a bigger impact than his name suggests. Jensen is a legit player and a type of player that's very hard to get in this league.

We could pick up Brannstrom if he goes on waivers!
On the Capitals I think Jensen was the go-to defensive d-man. On the Sens, Sanderson and Zub will likely be ahead of him, which should work in Jensen's favour.
Is it confirmed Sanderson will be playing with Zub and not Jensen?
Just curious
Not sure, but I just meant that it's likely that Sanderson and Zub will get more ice-time than Jensen.
I am so looking forward to seeing this team play with a real top 4 D, additional vets who play the right way, a solid starting goalie and a new coaching staff that will focus on details, getting more out of the players and introduce accountability. I'm glad that their schedule isn't super easy at the beginning of the season. We'll have an opportunity to see what they're made of although it could take some time for it to gel with so many changes on/off the ice.
Agreed. Chychrun brings more offence, but was terrible defensively & while Jensen brings less offence hewill be counted on to prevent goals & play on the PK & improve that special team. It's not so much offence that this team required as much as preventing goals against & being much harder to play against & stopping guys from skating through our defence without being touched. A lot more snarl on defence is very much needed.
I agree we need a tougher set of D to play a more physical game. However, I think we will miss Chychrun's offence and in the future I suspect Chychrun will be playing many more years while Jensen is retired.
Entirely possible, but at the same time Sanderson will continue to improve, Kleven could turn into a decent player & Yakemchuk will start coming along sooner rather than later, he already has the size, shot & mean streak we need back there. Offence from him will be a bonus and enevitable.
That may be true, but Chychrun is a FA next year, while Jensen has two years left. We traded one year of Chychrun for two years of Jensen, which has value in itself. If we, god forbid, really like Chychrun, we can try to sign him next year, assuming he doesn't extend with Washington.

Jensens never really was a physical D. 62 hits, 10 PIMs and a vote in the Lady Bing does not really scream physical. Smart defensively yes, but physical? Not really.
Feel like to get the bets from Jensen and those old legs I think he should play with Sanderson - Sanderson can carry him better then Chabot can and we know that Chabot/Zub works
Not saying Jensen needs to be carried but I think we get more out of him playing with Sandy then with Chabot we get more out of Chabot if he’s with Zub because Zub is a bit younger and a has more offensive help for Chabot
They've got a solid enough roster to get Ovie his goals, but that forward core isn't something i'm envious of at all. I wouldn't want to pay PLD even half of what his current salary is, Strome is a 2C, and with the Backstrom Oshie injuries, they'll be relying on a lot of younger guys to break out.
They have a very solid D, but I can totally see them declining very fast and not making the playoffs
I don't know, I guess it depends on goaltending and how well Carlson ages. Outside of that it's a very mediocre roster.
Well everything depends on goaltending.
But they’ve built themselves a very nice top 4.
