Generals Jensen

[Naz]

Heard a new rumour today. This comes from someone who knows a lot of people in the hockey world specifically OHL.Told me London is very interested in Jensen as their Euro. If that’s true take anything that’s offered as the word from several players was that he is not exactly a team guy and was a dressing room problem.
On a sad note Jensen’s agent is also representing our first round pick (yes, the one we haven’t signed yet).

Did the rumour come from the London Free Press? (Sorry, had to)

The old reliable Freeps lol.
I wouldn't put a lot of stock in that paper.
I wouldn't give up the #9 pick for a one n done, 30 goal scorer, with a rumored attitude, off a team who badly underachieved when it isn't our biggest need.
Keep the pick, take your guy. They moved up, targeting a specific player.
