Anthony Beauvillier to Washington for 2nd Round Pick

[DWGie26]

We needed a depth piece. Frank or Beauvillier is a better 13F than V. Would have been great if we slipped him through and had a vet to bring up from Hershey if needed, but he got claimed. That is the business side of it.

Sure we overpaid a bit, but actually not bad value given all of the prices. And the things the Caps liked were his pace of play, hit net front presence. Looks like he kills some penalties and one of his highlights was a shorty.

Like @kicksavedave said… he wasn’t brought here to be a difference in a cup or not. Not a cog in the system which is still important and needed.

Nice goal there at the end of the Ducks game. Nice play. There was a bit of quick acceleration, and will. Hopefully the first of many.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Great goal. And he looked really fast. With finishing ability, and in closed space.

Really good sign for the playoffs.

you would think Beauvillier will keep getting more comfortable the more he plays. I think they keep him on the fourth line at least through this roadtrip but sometime in March they move him to third line.

I think 72-20-16 would bring some spark and be hard to play against. Won’t be a skill line but sneaky speedy and crash the net line.

I’d like to see
72-20-88
22-26-16

So far so good.

It seems the overly positive people were well founded. Beauvillier has fit in well. He can play up. Nice piece for late second round.

I'd reserve my judgment until it is clear that he's not a plug in whenever someone's injured/needs a rest but a solid lineup mainstay. So far..yeah okay. That said, he's always looked good whenever he played the Caps in the past no matter the score. I feel like he should be playing all the games to the season's finish instead of either Frank/Raddysh.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He has played better then I expected. I still think we over paid.

He feels like a player you want to face the Canes and coach Rod
