Rumor: Carolina's Jake Bean available for a 2nd

[amigo]

Avs could try to sign him imo.

I'm glad you like him, but if Bean can't pass him I would say take the second rounder and look for someone who can.

Well, Bean is a 23 year old rookie and Skjei is a 27 year old veteran. Probably not a fair comparison.

I think the Canes are 100% fine with Skjei as a 2nd pairing LHD in a defensive role and Bean has no bearing on that.

I'd like him in Ottawa and we have plenty of 2nds. Rather him than some over the hill vet

I think for the amount of picks they have it makes perfect sense.

AVs should pursue him with the 2nd they obtained from Graves.

Bean might be worth the risk and likely needs a change. He was excellent in Junior, terrible in the WJC and excellent in the AHL. Surprised on not being selected by SEA, but he could be a low risk pickup.

Hey, Waddell, we just got off the phone with you... We're here for ya again.

Its me again, Margaret

Canes are moving guys they just don’t think fit. Whether it’s style of play or contracts in their cap structure.

They’re looking at Bean right now and evaluating whether or not he can be the guy who he was projected to be when he was drafted. Obviously they don’t think he has what it takes to make the improvements to be a strong member of the team moving forward. Maybe it’s a bit hasty but he is a 23 y/o former 1st rounder. I guess they figure if they can’t see it from him now, then it ain’t coming.

Doesn’t mean he’s bad or a bust. Just not going to be the player they need moving forward.

I'd be fine if Dubas made that move

 

[Zach716]

I’d do Bean + 4th for Buffalo’s 2nd

Victor Rask for Bean. C'mon, Carolina...you know you want it!

Done. There are always surprising guys sitting there to start Day 2.

 

[xECK29x]

After today I'm convinced zero NHL GMs will pay that, they just don't know good hockey.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Jake Bean for Morgan Geekie straight up

Buyer beware when teams are looking to trade away guys under 25

It's weird. Seattle passed on him (a move everyone crapped on) and here he is still getting shopped. Something stinks.
