Jensen has been an exceptionally smart defensive player for the Sens, while Chychrun seems to be dynamic thus far for the Caps. My gut tells me that this might turn out to be a win-win trade.
Yeah, and Chychrun is more what the Caps needed, there was a severe lack of offensive capability on the Caps blue line last year outside of Carlson.Jensen fit the Senators a lot a lot better. Both in playing the right side and just a strong defensive defenseman
Chychrun is going to command what, 6-8 mil starting next year?
Jensen should probably stay around the 4 mil mark and he's got an extra year.
That's the only real problem I see, Washington's already at the cap.
Right, and they're going to have 2-3 players on rookie contracts on the team next year in Leonard, Miro and maybe Cristall. Plus Backstrom and I think Oshie come off.I think the Caps can definitely work a Chychrun extension into their contracts. They don’t have much else to do as far as new contracts this year. Mangiapane at 5.8 comes off the books, likely replaced with a rookie contract from someone like Leonard or Miro. Their two super cheap goalies are both UFA’s, will see how that shakes out. But I think if they decide they want to keep him and he wants to stay it should be doable without hurting the team.
Then obviously the year after 9.5 million comes offRight, and they're going to have 2-3 players on rookie contracts on the team next year in Leonard, Miro and maybe Cristall. Plus Backstrom and I think Oshie come off.
The cap shouldn't be a problem.

So the Sens traded a 12th overall pick and two 2nd round picks for Chychurn, flipped him for a third round pick and a 34 year old "exceptionally smart defensive" stay at home 2nd pair/2nd PK Defeseman and it's a win-win? Sure.

The trades for and sending away Chychrun respectivelyWhat are all these draft picks you are talking about?
The trades for and sending away Chychrun respectively
Jensen is awesome. Bounceback season for him. He's really fast and reliable. Definitely the kind of player than can step into a #2D role in a pinch.
In a vacuum nothing, but rarely anything happens in a vacuum,So what do the prior trades have to do with the Chychrun-Jensen trade?
