Yes but that's for players who it would make any sense at all to move outside of an overpayment. We're assuming someone is calling Carolina here interested in Bean, why would they sell low on a guy they picked 13th overall and have the luxury of slowly developing in the AHL for as many as 3 or 4 seasons?
It's absolutely bonkers how if a guy isn't in the NHL by 20 people seem to think he can be had for a mid round pick, look at the Kapanen thread with people being dead serious that he is "maybe worth a 3rd" for another example
I got alloy of response to that.
Don't disagree with the general sentiment.
But Bean is behind Slavin, De Haan, Fleury right now and Carrick had a good AHL stint.
The massive majority of people who write about or talk about Carolina have them moving someone from the back end to improve their front end.
Not saying he is the one, but saying massive overpayment IMO is still not the right way to look at it.
Players have value which usually takes into account where they play in your lineup, who can replace them, and where their potential might get them.
I am more frustrated with literally every proposal for a prospect, young guy or veteran starting with "needs an ocerpayment" I.e. I know everyone wants this dollar bill but we have had him for a long time. 10 quarters or no deal.
Every player can't need an overpayment or no trades would ever happen.
