Absolutely terrible decision.

Sounds like a side deal, or Francis thinks he's smarter than most. Seems like a bad choice.

???? Why in the world would you not take bean or even Neiderider (sp?) They'd better be getting a lot as a side deal

True enough. But just on its face, that's a rough one. If I were Francis & Co. I'd have those details leaked as soon as possible because this is a bad call.

Seems like Francis and Hakstol being nice to their former teams?

Geekie looks more like a tweener - a guy that produces in the AHL but can't translate that to the next level.
But Francis would know him well. Question is - is his own bias coming into play for a guy he picked, or does the player actually have something more when given a bigger chance.

Can these maybe all be consolidated into one thread?

Definitely must be some sort of deal because it is a head scratcher to take Lauzon over Bean.

No keep them separate. Each merits its own discussion.

Yeah. Neiderider would’ve been a solid pickup. Not sure what’s going on here.

This one has to be a side deal. Could see them adding a 1st here to keep Bean and Neidereiter.

Nino is a very flawed player. If he ain't scoring (which he doesn't do consistently) he ain't helping.

Fire Francis!

Another really bizarre selection. There has to be something else headed to Seattle, like at least a good draft pick.

I think Geekie has upside still. But he may turn out to be a jankowski.

I’d love for Calgary to get Bean if he were available.

That would be sweet! Losing one Mr. Bean to Seattle only to get another Mr. Bean back from Carolina.
