I agreed Bahl is better than Hague moving forward

And no, Bean is not better. He’s lucky to get 1M

Hague has been buried for ice time and opportunity, his whole career in Vegas. He's better than his stats imply.

That said, being stifled should translate into a pretty team friendly contract, which this is not. Nashville immediately overpaid him by a million a year.
