Sorry, but you aren’t getting a second for Bean. You paid a second, and that was a mistake. The absolute best you could get for Bean is a 3rd.

Lets agree to disagree.

The one who is in need, is going to pay a 2nd.

I can see the fun in uniting the brothers Geekie, but Francis is high on Morgan. Draft Pick of his back in Carolina days and he selected him ahead oc Niedereitter and Bean ( ironically) in expansion. Bemstrom & Carlsson likely aren't the pieces to get a Francis fave, imo.

We can agree to disagree, but nobody is in need of a offensive dman who can’t produce enough offensively to outweigh his defensive deficiencies. That was made very clear in the playoff series against Nashville in particular, but also against Tampa. Add on to that a contract he has not earned at all, your result is not worth a second. But the Canes definitely appreciate you giving us Heimosalmi.

If Bean could produce more offensively, you might be able to get a second, but the only way I see the Jackets getting a second for Bean would be if they retain half his salary, and even then I would say it’s a stretch. But I digress.
