Don’t mind the Jensen trade. Beagle money isn’t really the concern. It’s more Eriksson.

Trading JV to get rid of Beagle sinks any chance of secondary scoring on this team. If your going to do that might as while substitute Eriksson in for beagle and include a draft pick with JV.

Frees up $6m this year and next. Sign a scoring FA.

Would love to substitute Eriksson for Beagle, however I think we would have to give up more than just JV to do it. Wasn't excited about that. With Ferland back, and Gaudette one year more mature, I'm confident in our secondary scoring.

As a Caps fan, I think a 3rd and a 4th for Jensen is a decent return this offseason if they want to move him. If the cap went up and there weren't a pandemic, he's worth a 1st, but this summer, yeah, a couple mid-rounders might be what they get. They'd probably want to have a couple of good UFA's lined up on 1 year deals with that cap space, first, though. With Stecher off the market, it'll be tough to upgrade at RHD, but maybe they can still get a decent RD and an okay forward, so they could consider a low trade offer like that.

I actually really like Jensen for this team - I wish it were a 2 year deal, but I think he would be a great addition to that 3rd pair.

There are some options from BUF too - Miller, McCabe, Montour - but they may have too high of AAV. Kulak in MTL is another option. And then FAs like Rutta, Koekkoek, Bowey, and even Hamonic if he signs for <$3m. Ian Cole may be an option from COL if then want to shed some salary/bodies after bringing in Toews and resigning Graves - I bet they'd be open to retention too since it's a 1-year deal. Or maybe a guy like Riikola from PIT.

There are still a lot of options out there in FA and via trade that could help solidify VAN's defense -- I wonder which direction Benning is going to go...

I agree on some of those, but the cap hit would likely be too high on the better players. Jensen is a solid D-man at $2.5M AAV.
