Meh. He didn't seem that slow to me, I watched a fair number of Caps playoffs games. But I do agree that this is an unnecessary signing.

Sign Derek Grant , he'd be just as if not more than effective than Beagle, is a lot younger and would probably cost 1/2 the amount.

Damn, you can tell with his new stanley cup ring he is going to be pushing hard for the 4 year term.

Well, Caps fans say otherwise. I do too and I saw a lot of their games for Fantasy reasons (Holtby, Carlson, Backstrom).
The only big positive from this to me is NO to Tyler Bozak.
I'd rather sign beagle if it means not giving Bozak what he wants.
Lessen the damage per say.

Canucks signing Beagle reminds me of Craig MacTavish signing Boyd Gordon in 2013. There was an episode of Oil Change where they show him on the phone with Gordon's agent, and they're just freaking the f*** out. "We got Boyd Gordon! We've got GORDON! GORDONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"
They thought he was a "culture carrier", leader on/off the ice, etc. Thought he signified a return to respectability in the league. Sounds familiar.

I don't get the backlash already without knowing the term. If it's 3 years yeah I'm not ok with it. But if it's 2 years I'm all for it. It lets Bo focus on offense, Gaudette to develop with the Lind's and Dahlen's in Utica.
The other thing it does is help the PK- which is key if they are somewhat trying to win a few games here and there next year. We aren't going to score much, so if they can limit the PP goals against it's a huge swing there. Especially if Boeser and Petersson on the PP can make magic happen.

The more you study the free agent wire, the more the Canucks should just put their fiddle in the case...particularly when it comes to centers. They already have Horvat, Sutter, Gaudette and potentially Gaunce down the middle. After a half a season on the wing, Pettersson will undoubtedly shift to the middle....and Gagner, Motte and Granlund can all play center in a pinch.
All they'll be forced to do on July 1st is overpay with money and term for a veteran who'll only get in the way of the kids anyway. And looking at the available d-men, there isn't anything either. Why overpay for another 6-7 depth d-man? Canucks already have lots of those.
So unless there's a significant hockey trade involving someone like Sutter or Tanev, just can't see Jimbo doing much of anything.

If the term and $ isn't bad I can live with a Beagle signing. If he comes in and plays 10 or so minutes while giving the younger guys more freedom to play offensive ice time it'll be alright for me. If he can be part of the first competent looking 4th line since Horvats rookie season then even better.
If they could show Sutter the door now before/after this signing that would be even better.

If the Canucks were to sign Beagle, which centre would you see playing with Pettersson, assuming Elias makes the team?
(Beagle's best ever assist total over a full season: 17, in 2016/17.)

So long as it's less than 3M x 3 years or 2.5M x 4 years, I'm happy with it.
Beagle is a good guy to have around a young locker room. He's at least a serviceable player who can take a lot of the hard minutes without eating up any of the soft minutes that you want to be feeding the young guns and he's a consistent hard worker. He's like the anti-sam gagner.

No I will not. Everything else was at least somewhat bearable but you can see this as a disaster from a mile away; giving a 4th line centre a 5 year deal with a 4m aav who is at the age of 33 is a joke either way
I'll be very surprised if it's a 5 year deal. My guess is 3. Even that is bad.
The only way I'd want to see Beagle here is on a 1-year deal and Sutter being shipped out in a trade.

**** you guys are such complainers. Wait to see the term and money at least. He’s a great signing, best 4C in the league and can step into 3C if needed. Great leader and locker room guy and he’s big.

If Beagle takes a lot of the hard minutes, and Sutter takes a lot of the hard minutes, and number one centre Bo Horvat takes lots of key minutes, how many minutes will be left for whomever the other centre is — the one that will be on Pettersson's line? Does Pettersson end up playing on an odd, protected fourth line, centred by Gagner or Granlund, getting fewer than ten minutes a night?

Right now it's probably Gagner. Preferably, we can move Gagner out for a pick and add a 2C for cheap or as a negative asset. Guys like Spezza, Nelson and Rask come to mind.
At his age and role I could see teams not giving any more than a 3 year deal. Now that he has won a cup, money is probably the more important factor in his decision at this point. Vancouver can offer way more AAV than most right now when the terms are all equal.

Beagle's line would get that deployment and his TOI would be propped up by PK time. Petersson's line would get similar to the Sedin's line last season.
