<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I think that's a solid way of looking at it. I agree that Hamilton is likely leaving via FA. I can't imagine Seattle would risk a pick on him anyway though.

The only thing I'd be particularly worried about is if Bean turns into Shea Theodore 2.0 (Sad Ducks fan here...).</div></div>

That’s a risk you take I guess. I’d hate to see Bean excel too after being picked up by Francis, but after watching him for 2 years in Charlotte and his 30 or so game NHL career so far, I’m taking the under on Bean. I just don’t see top 4 D in him.

But who knows, I’m sure the Canes front office has a better handle on it than I do. I do think that the Skjei acquisition was a bit of a hedge on Hamilton potentially leaving so I don’t think they will willingly risk losing him, unless they know that by losing him and his cap hit they’ll be able to keep Hamilton.

Over the past few weeks, Skjei has been excellent. Very steady on D and his offensive game has finally come around. He’s tailor-made for Brind’Amour’s style of play.

True.

I am of the mind they’re going to lose Hamilton regardless to ufa. So, I think they’ll be using Hamilton’s current $5-6M salary slot to bring in a replacement. I also think Foegele will likely be re-signed over Martinook and Paquette. If you lose Martinook’s $2M and Paquette’s $1.6M, you have plenty to give Foegele a raise and also slot in another player or 2 on ELCs.

I’d rather keep 3/4 of a strong top 4 together in Skjei, Slavin and Pesce vs Slavin, Pesce and Bean, who is no where near ready to play 20mins a night.
Put it this way, I’m more comfortable losing Hamilton and Bean than I am with them losing Hamilton and Skjei. Replacing 1 top 4 D is a heck of a lot easier than 2.
