Detroit — That other teams are interested, and there could be a playoff series to play in this spring, those are nice things to know for defenseman Nick Jensen.
But as days count down to Monday’s trade deadline, Jensen, whose name is apparently generating significant interest from other teams, would much rather remain in Detroit.
“This is the organization that drafted me, the team’s amazing, the staff is amazing, the fans are amazing," Jensen said after Thursday's practice. "So, obviously, I love it here.”
But, there’s a flip side.
Jensen can be an unrestricted free agent on July 1 — he’s in the final year of a two-year-contract worth $1.
