6th year right wing Jake Hansen(22) takes his game to Metal Ligaen joining Rungsted Seier Capital for 2017/2018 after scoring exactly 4 goals in each of his last three seasons with Asset of Liiga and Schwenninger Wild Wings of DEL.
Left unqualified after two years in Columbus Blue Jackets‘ system, where he played exclusively for affiliate Springfield Falcons, the very decently sized power forward split for overseas.
The soon-to-be 28-year old should set new scoring highs in Denmark’s top league.
Jake Hansen(14) Springfield Falcons
Columbus Blue Jackets‘ 3rd round pick in the 2007 draft (#68 overall) rookie right wing Jake Hansen(14) is playing the spark plug of energy role for minor league affiliate Springfield Falcons in the 2013 Calder Cup Playoffs, when he’s been inserted into the lineup.
He’s appeared in 3 of their 6 postseason match ups with no points, a pair of shots and a 0 plus/minus, but has been a ball of fire each and every time he steps on the ice.
The 6’2″ 193 lbs. forward had a fairly successful first campaign with 4 goals and 5 assists in 46 AHL games.
And although he may have not been in every game, he was kept around without being reassigned further down.
He put up increasingly better numbers with each successive year at University Of Minnesota and was just about a point-per-game guy in his final season there.
The 23-year signed a two-year entry level deal through 2013/2014.
If he keeps hustling and can increase his production on the score sheet, should find himself getting a phone call to add some oomph to the team chemistry.
