Bean: 2 x $1.75M
Valimaki: 2 x $2.0M
So let's assume they were aligned at $2.0M and the sticking point is 1 or 2 years...personally I think the extra year is pretty low risk with decent upside and it's worth going to 2 years to keep the asset (which would be a very tradeable asset if he plays well).
It's all about asset accumulation and management right now and if going to 2 years helps maintain the asset then I'd do that.

We are rebuilding giving Kylington 2 years is a smart move. If he plays, I bet he out plays that contract. I agree he probably doesn't deserve it but it is low risk as the Flames likely do not spend the cap in the next 2 years anyways.
Trade Rasmus if he signs too. This summer, lots of teams that could load up still with not many UFAs left.
