Potential

I do it.

Yeah, I guess. I'm just trying to get a sense of what Bear is worth and what kind of player he is.

No. This is awful Maybe suggest a real proposal like Brannstrom and the Nashville 7th.

Honestly, it's a good idea but I'm not sure about the practicality. If this happens I'd like to see a safety net pick coming back. But the reason Carolina would trade Bear is because they have Coghlan and Chatfield competing for the 6th D spot. Maybe if Brannstrom plays LD, it could make sense. Not sure though.

HAHA! Had me in the first half...

I figured it was surplus that is "forcing" him out. Brann can play LHD but he's played the majority of his younger career on the right. He's made strides last year on the left side but was handicapped by Zaitsev most of the time. That and DJ doesn't like small guys. But yeah, safety net on picks.

I don’t see the appeal for CAR. They are potentially trading Bear b/c they have too many D as is. They don’t need another that likely wouldn’t play over de Haan (probably signed soon).

I’d think the Canes are looking for a pick or waiver exempt prospect that wouldn’t take up a roster spot.
