I won't comment on values here, because in my opinion, these are all over the place. On Jake Bean, as good as a year as he had in the AHL, I am skeptical about his NHL transition. I would say as far as his depth and potential, he would be behind both Dermott and Sandin on the left-side, and although I am not terribly familiar with Bean, I am not sure he is capable of playing his off-hand. Considering the situation the Canes are in with Dougie Hamilton this offseason, I would think they would want to hold onto Jake Bean purely for their own depth. Also, why would the Leafs ever trade Justin Holl unless it's overpayment. He's proven himself worthy of handling pretty decent minutes in a shutdown role and has shown good compatibility with Muzzin, Dermott, Rielly even. Again, I think the gain from your proposed deal is just not worth the move. I would think Dermott or Sandin moves this offseason, if the upgrade the Leafs get back for whatever package they are included in, makes it worth it.
