Ottawa Senators defenceman Nick Jensen has reportedly had surgery for a lower body injury, how does this affect the Sens?
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan discuss if Jensen isn’t healthy that the Sens will need to go out and acquire a veteran D-man. Or could they solve the problem internally with a younger player for a short amount of time? We continue or Season in Review with the fourth line. Can the Sens afford the price Adam Gaudette may demand, should Nick Cousins get another chance, has Matthew Highmore’s time in the Nation’s Capital come to an end and why Fabian Zetterlund cannot spend anymore time on the bottom line.

I'm not at all worried about Fabian Zetterlund. He has finish, which the senators need. I'm pretty sure he will fit in nicely, once he is comfortable.
I love G but I think Staios wants to spend that money elsewhere
I know its completely subjective.
But if you come to the sens, and your one of the "boys" and bring the energy to the fans. You will be valued even as you walk out the door.
Chychrun, JBD, Tarasanko, Branny in the last couple years.
Great guys who loves the city and made up alot for the lack of success.
Hopefully Jensen is healthy for training camp, if not, they definitely need to add someone on the RHD.
If Jensen isn't back until US Thanksgiving (e.g., 6 months), perfect chance for Aaron Ekblad @ 6 x $7.5AAV
I'd be down to overpay perbix a mil or 2 just for the solid RHD that can play a bottom 4 role.
If after having surgery Jensen has issues with recovery then find a better surgeon.Norris had a hell of a time with multiple surgeries.That shouldn't happen. Another right shot d man that is top pairing is needed or a solid second pairing guy.Ottawa is going to have to make a decision on which d man they plan on moving
The right side would be overloaded and there will be an odd man out.Maybe Matinpalo.
If you are forced to move Claude ,move him to a Canadian contender like Edmonton.He wouldn't have border issues that way.I think Claude is an elite player that has slowed down a little but is still effective.
It's decision time in Ottawa
When Zetterlund was traded to SJ for the remainder of the year, he did nothing. With a full camp, he put up basically 24 goals and was on pace for 22 goals. He did nothing with us, though it is hard to do anything when you have no chemistry, and you waste 8 games on the 4th line. But he did get better. His effort was not in question, just the finish. I believe that with a full camp and a top 9 or 6 spot in the lineup up he will return to that 20+ goal form.
I hope Nick comes back healthy in time for the start of next season. I'd hate to see the Senators take a step backwards defensively. Pillsy is right imo. Yakemchuck could use at least a year of development in the minors. Kleven and Matinpalo were nice surprises this year.
I think fabbro and Ekblad are great RHD options or if they do the trade route then Brandt Clarke or Ristolainen could be good or even better with a major swing rasmus andersson
Sign Eklbad.
Jensen and Zub are always injured, and I’m sick of the inconsistency on the D core…
Obviously Zetterlund will be signed. They wouldn't have made that trade otherwise. I'd bring back Gaudette at 1 million for 1 or 2 seasons. I have not been a Highmore fan at all this season. Cousins I don't care one way or the other but I don't think he comes back
Whatever injury Jensen was battling with it's good to hear that he got the surgery for it. If he's going to be out awhile definitely would be a good move acquiring another defenceman to be safe if something were to happen to Jensen. Would definitely like to see Zetterlund higher up in the lineup start of next season. Gaudette and Cousins are both great 4th line players I would bring them back. But for Highmore I'm done with him too lol. GSG!
The one thing about hockey that drives me insane: JUST TELL US WHAT THE SODDING INJURY IS!!!!
Lol guys training camp is a really long ways away. he will be fine
Nothing against Highmore but if team is going to improve that roster spot needs an upgrade. Ok as a temporary call up but not a full time NHL player
