didn't even try, it's not like they offered 11-12M/yr for 7yrs for the kid all front loaded, they offered a decent contract to the kid that was easy to match

oh I know.

it was all for show, I'm sure.

Bergevin wanted to do the "See? I'm actually trying!" thing.

JUST CALM DOWN

NO

Picks.... Jake Bean is a stud!

the Bean stock seems to be high...

I wonder if the offer sheet was really negatively perceived by other GMs around the league... some tend to think this messed up MB's relations with them
- Pat1993

I doubt it. I think, at worst, it made MB look gullible. I doubt anybody else really cared.

It's not like he broke any rules.

1st in the AHL in points by a D.... was he 11th or 13th overall in his draft? Too lazy to look... but you're not gonna find many better LD prospects and if they get a 1st on top!!

13th you lazy bum

... we tend to be ... hmm ... more polite.

you know when the people at the outdoor rink are nice? the week of christmas. and that's it. before that week and after that week they're all rude again. but for that week, they're helping strangers up and marveling at all the lights together and all that kinda stuff. it's weird.

- BINGO!

I'm also under this impression. I'd be surprised if there was an "unwritten code" for GMs revolving around those kinds of moves

Would you do Petry for Bean and a 1st?

Just wear a red MAGA hat and a camo jacket with a bullet on the back....you will have no problems.

And the way TO is going, that pick could be 11-16

Thank you friend!

get that pick at the TDL and watch the Leafs pick win the lottery

Bean was 13th overall.

The 1st from the Leafs is top 10 protected this year. If it's a top 10 pick, it moves to a 2021 1st instead.

Looks like it'll probably be somewhere around 13-15th overall.

Canes aren't getting it because Leafs are getting #1

Petry + Kovalchuck for Bean and Toronto's 1st

Its top 10 Protected but 11th would be nice
