Not worth it for the Senators.
If they acquire a D, they need a sure thing, and not another half measure. Not to mention, the Senators are already at or very close to their rumored budget. I don't think adding a defenseman at 2.2M who hasn't been great since leaving Edmonton makes much sense.
If it was something like Brannstrom for Bear at half retained, I'd be fine with the change of scenery move, since Brannstrom is probably done in Ottawa anyways. I don't get the rationale of Ottawa giving up a 2nd for Bear in what is a buyer's market. If there was 2nd on the table from anybody, I assume Carolina would have taken it by now.
