Well, Bean gets his wish and will likely get a bigger role with the Blue Jackets

This about to be a Paula Abdul thread?

Well. Someone posted the Daigle wannabe, and I was reminded how Simon once scolded Paula for suggesting an Idols-hopeful that she could and should start dubbing cartoons.

If Bean didn’t want to be a 3rd pairing defenseman for the next 3 years, this was the ticket out of that. Hard to be mad at either side here (unless you’re unhinged to begin with)

Always the optimist, assuming we will take another step forward.

How do you figure?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Ten picks in 2019, nine picks in 2020, and now ten picks in 2021. At the very least, AHL Chicago's going to be incredibly fun to watch in the next few seasons.

 

[DaveG]

I don't hate this move. Bean apparently wanted a larger role and wasn't selected by Seattle. And we can easily replace his spot in the lineup with Lajoie or Sellgren.

wtf how can we trade a former 1st round proven defensemen for a second round in this year draft , this year draft is a crapshoot , many young players haven even played this season , i said it when they traded Ned to fire Waddell right away , Wadell is doing what he did best , like he did in Atlanta

In what world is Bean a proven defenseman?

Bean is a total mystery at this moment. How is he proven?

 

[baconandbread]

Considering we were prepared to lose him a few days ago for nothing, this is a pretty good return.

 

[To Be Determined]

it is proven that he was drafted in the first round.

which is the only reason he returned a second, honestly

 

[whiskers]

he made the team play

Proven at what?

he prove he can play , much better than Hamilton in my eyes , Hamilton plays so bad defensely even worst than gardiner , gardiner actually played well playoffs 2 years ago and ok this season , Hamilton plays like he has Autism on defense , his stupid looks when other teams scores on us , i cant stand him , i thought beans would somewhat do half his offenside production which would be good enough

Ok Jake Bean’s dad. I’ll take all of that under advisement…….holy hell

 

[Svechhammer]

Draft Bean in the 1st, trade him for a 2nd

Draft Ned in the 2nd, trade him for a 3rd

Maybe Francis wasn't the drafting wizard he's been made out to be

 

[Drivebytrucker]

I feel like this year being a crapshoot is where you could really score a gem of a 2nd round pick of you scout well

I mean as it is right now, Bean is the guy drafted before Charlie McAvoy. I'm not sure how you can say he's better than Dougie. To each their own I guess.

 

[whiskers]

Considering we were prepared to lose him a few days ago for nothing, this is a pretty good return.

a second round in 2022 would have been better , at least every player will have played , this year the OHL and WHL were almost inactive

 

[sheriff bart]

How do you figure?

Trading a player away for a magic bean

Hamilton can play 22 minutes a night in all situations in the NHL, Bean can’t be trusted to play more than 10 minutes a night in the most sheltered of situations
