Thats it

Staios prob knew he was screwed in the RD department in FA and panic sold. Then the guy signs Perron to 4x2 before extending Pinto lmfaoooo.

ah it’s whatever. At least they got someone they think can fill the role he’s leaving. He was getting traded and everyone knew it so they got squeezed

Jensen is a fine return. He has more defensive awareness than Chych, plays the right side and is signed for 2 years at a decent cap hit.

Ottawa already has Sanderson and Chabot on the left and to QB the powerplay. Chych was never going to get the money he deserves playing in Ottawa with these two signed long term.

I personally would have preferred the team to move on from Chabot instead, but it is what it is.

my point more was a 2LD should have gotten a lot more then a mid 3rd and a 33 yearold aging Vet who would be a 3RD on any playoff team. hes only slightly cheaper so cap doesnt really mean much and the 1 extra year of control is good but Id imagine if im looking for a deal i sure as **** would rather wait it out a bit then move on and get a significantly less value package

Jensen was a second pair RD on a playoff team.

This deal was probably finalized awhile ago and the teams waited for the signing bonuses to clear ($2M for Jensen, $1M for Chych. Ottawa saves a $1M real money). If there was a better deal available, Ottawa would have already taken it.
