Jake Bean Signs Extension In Columbus

July 29, 2021 at 4:41 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 3 Comments

The Columbus Blue Jackets announced today that newly acquired defenseman Jake Bean signed an extension with the team. It’s a three-year deal costing Columbus $2.33MM annually. Here is the breakdown:

2021-22: $1.9M
2022-23: $2.2M
2023-24: $2.9M

This could wind up being an outstanding value for the Blue Jackets. Although Bean is only 23 and has just 44 NHL games under his belt, the 2016 first-round pick has shown flashes of immense upside in his young pro career. In his rookie season in 2020-21, Bean recorded 12 points in 42 games despite playing very limited bottom-pair minutes and without a consistent power play role. At 1.18 points per 60 minutes already without prime power play opportunity and playing with bottom-pair talent, Bean will only go up from there with a top-four role seemingly waiting for him in Columbus. At 20+ minutes per night and put in better scoring opportunities, it would not be a surprise to see the young blue liner push for at least 30+ points.

With all that said, Bean does need to continue to grow in the defensive aspects of the game. It is that development rather than his offensive potential that will dictate his ceiling in Columbus. The re-tooling Blue Jackets need well-rounded, all-situations players and Bean is still working on becoming that.

    Of all of the ridiculous contracts given out this week, this may top them all. This kid was totally lost the last half of the season and during the playoffs. I don’t get this one iota. He has lots of potential and promise, but he certainly isn’t there, yet.

      Are you really Joseph Vasicek, the former NHLer?

      13th overall pick in the draft, still only 23 years old and as you pointed out, this is chump change compared to some of the contracts given out. I don’t hate it if I’m Columbus. I was surprised Seattle didn’t take him in the expansion draft.
