Bean

No chance we trade Bean to start with. He has finally blossomed, and he is producing well.

Bean is a currently an offensively oriented 3rd pair D who struggles defensively. He’s has a the potential to be more, but right now that’s all the Canes need him to be. Not sure why the Canes would deal him for futures as this point. Perhaps he could have been had for such an offer prior to the season.

At this point, he’s likely Dougie Hamilton insurance. Not that he’s a Hamilton replacement, but if Hamilton doesn’t re-sign, it seems pretty obvious that the Canes would end up protecting Bean In the expansion draft and keeping him long term.

Matt Roy's a greater need for us than a couple of lottery tickets, considering that Hamilton may leave in free agency. I like Kupari and Grans a lot, though. Personally, I'd do Roy for Bean + 2nd.
