  1. As someone who thinks Jensen is still really good, I’m flabbergasted that he had *this* much value. Love this swap, regardless.

    Good. I’m tired of watching Jensen do things that aren’t smart.

    Damn it I’m going to miss Jensen

    Nice idea though.

    Wowowow GMBM cooking!! 

    Chychrun underperformed superstar expectations after the trade from Arizona but is still a BIG improvement for us.

    Wish you well Nick but this is an upgrade for us

  6. _Magnolia_Fan_

    The trade booking should include whatever blackmail we had to pull out.

    BMac in beast mode this offseason. Love this deal.

    WHOAAAAAAAA! This is HUGE. GMBM ain’t playing around. Makes that top-4 that much better.

    GMBM cannot be stopped. Wheeling and dealing like a motherfucker.

    This is a tremendous swap. Holy shit. GMBM must have dirt on some of these other GMs. One more piece at forward and we’re suddenly not just playing for the wild card. We’re a contender.

    I still like Jensen a lot, but I’m shocked we pulled this off.

    I wonder if we’re offering up continued access to cap friendly for this as a handshake thing. It would explain the Thompson trade too.

    Nick is a good person but man he has been rough at defense for years. This is a great get.

    I have been very critical of GMBM for a while, but these offseason moves have been pretty damned great so far, minus PLD who I’m still not sold on.

    Yoooo let’s go! Caps are making so many good moves!! Going to be an entirely new team by October wow!

    I like the moves we are making so far this offseason. Getting Thompson, getting Mang, getting Chychrun

    Build this team up again

    This is great. I’m glad they’ve taken pressure off of Carlson and Lindgren this off-season

    My post 2 months ago:

    “I think the Caps covet Chychrun. If you already throw shade at Carlson, you’ll definitely dislike Chychrun, but we need more O from the D. Some sort of trade with Ottawa for him and Pinto I could see materializing”

    This is a dream come true for me lol. He was my favorite coyote so I’m thrilled. He’s a bit injury prone but when he’s on he’s a legitimate top pair defenceman. Reliable defensively and has a good offensive mind. At least he was in Arizona, admittedly I haven’t watched much of him since he left.

    As someone who cheered for the Arizona Coyotes before they got moved, this is an excellent pick up. He’s a strong physical defenseman with a mean slap shot. Contributes on offense and defense. Caps win this trade for sure

    Jensen was awesome. This trade is also awesome. Always sad to see a cap go regardless
