On today’s episode of The Senstennial Podcast, we discuss Ottawa trading defender Jakob Chychrun to the Washington Capitals in exchange for defenceman Nick Jensen and a 3rd round draft selection. We discuss why Chychrun fetched fewer assets than anticipated, where we see Jensen fitting into the Sens’ blueline, and whether this balances out Ottawa’s defensive corp for this coming season.
This is the third part of a six-part 2024 Sens off-season special!

Yeah I went to Chychrun's debut game and the atmosphere at that game was electric. It was one of the best games I've been to. It's sad how quickly it soured but I think the trade was successful. In my opinion we don't need more offensive D players. Stutzle should be back up to form next season, we have a better goalie, and I think we have the skill needed to improve
Yeah that’s the issue with the trade. We didn’t maximize assets coming back by trading our biggest trade chip for a guy we could have got in FA. And like you say Sean walker is probably a better player than Jensen and younger. But whatever. He had a lot of work to do and he addressed pretty much everything. Jensen should be a good partner for chabot. But he’s 34 years old so won’t be around long. 2 years from now we’ll only have the third rnd pick to show from chychrun and all the assets we gave up to get him. One of those things we just have to forget and look forward. The lineup is improved overall.
Should have kept DeMelo
The guy was a -30, far worse than anyone else on the team and he is a defensemen , he wasn't worth much.
13:55. They would have looked at everything. So you’re likely right.
Jensen is horrible on D and has no O. He is a turnover over machine and older. Horrible trade for Sens.
