Not a fan of Bear.
Just a total logjam of bottom pairing defensemen now. Guess this means Stillman and/or Dermott is probably out long-term.
Just thankful it wasn’t Hoglander
This x 1000.
I was flabbergasted that that was the Canes' ask.
Bear for a 5th seems like reasonable value - I'm just not sure it materially improves our team at this time. We have a lot of guys around Bear's level. What we're lacking is guys who can take and handle top four minutes without being caved in.
All that said, Bear seems like a terrific human being. From a personnel standpoint, I'm really happy he's a Canuck, and he'll be easy to cheer for.
Basically where it’s at. If we zoom out, a 5th is mostly nothing in the grand scheme. But so will Bear and Pederson be. This does nothing.Don’t like it.
Just a continual spinning of the wheels and going nowhere.
This is a Benning type move.
It’s something where you can be like “ok sure whatever” with all of those trades in isolation but when you start adding the sum of what you gave up, there has to be a hit there.Teams will not be giving up any top 4 dmen and we don't have the assets to acquire potential or already bona fide top 4 guys.
I guess the next best option is hope that guys like Stillman, Dermott or Bear somehow breakout. Only issue is you start sacrificing assets (2nd, 3rd and now a 5th).
What if Bear is moved at the TDL for a higher pick? Don’t be so short sightedDon’t like it.
Just a continual spinning of the wheels and going nowhere.
