Value of: Nathan Beaulieu for a Top6 forward

[Mark Kandy]

Hey guys,

I really like Beaulieu but I would be curious to know who would you give (a top 6 forward) to get him? He's been excellent in the preseason (for what it's worth) and seems ready to step up this season. His caphit is 1 million for this season, and he is a RFA after.

We have plenty of defensemen and I'd be curious to know who on your team you would swap for Beaulieu... even if we have to add something like a 2nd round pick or a B prospect to even things out.

So, what are you offering!?

Not happy with Lehkonen?

 

[sansabri]

Yeah, Lehkonen is good for now. Beaulieu isn't going anywhere.

 

[BB88]

Not happy with Lehkonen?

Yeah I thought they need defense more than help in the top6 right now.
Thanks to Radulov+Lehkonen.

 

[ottawa]

No thanks, let's keep Beaulieu

 

[rhinoshawarma]

No what, he had a sick preseason and lehkonen is really promising. We also have shaw we can plug in. Beaulieu is our top LD right now, where we're weak

Where do you get that? If we trade Beaulieu, Emelin becomes a full-time top 4 and either Barberio or Redmond on his off-side becomes a regular when Sergachev goes back down after 9 games.

 

[The Nuge]

For a young #4 with like #3 upside (maybe a little higher), you're probably looking at fringe 1st/2nd line winger or a #2C

 

[Dominator13]

NO.

Beaulieu will probably be around 0.5 PPG this season and he's the only LHD that compensates for Weber's average mobility.

 

[Legend123]

He dominates the preseason leading it in points and yet this habs fan wants to trade him?? Really??? And has Lehkonen not shown enough???
Both arent being moved from their current positions.

 

[Hunter368]

Marko Dano + from Jets, very cheap winger

Yeah no one here wants to teade him. Just one out of touch fan who actually thinks our bigger need is a top 6 winger over a LD.

While I dont believe Beaulieu is good enough to be paired with Weber.. Hes our best option.

 

[waitin425]

There was a time when I would have offered Beauloeu + McCarron and a 1st for that top right winger Yak

Now I think we will just keep Beau. He is a solid second pairing PMD and Rads, Lehk,Gally and Max are just fine as our top wingers!

 

[jacks*]

Not interested in moving Beaulieu unless some team hugely overpays for him.

 

[NobleSix]

Our top 6 is fine now with the additions of Radulov and Lehkonen. We need Beaulieu a lot more than a top 6 winger.

 

[CapSpace]

Beaulieu is going nowhere. Move on.

 

[HuGo Sham]

beaulieu led he NHL in pts this pre-season. first round pick ready to step up, regardless of what other teams fans think.
pierre maguire loves him and that's good enough for me

 

[Jeti]

Aren't the Habs weak at LHD? Markov is a hundred years old and Emelin should never see the top-4.

IF they moved Beaulieu for a forward, the Jets would definitely be in on it.

Armia/Dano + Copp/Petan/Stafford

Armia and Dano are both ready for second-line roles this year (but only one will get it). Both have plenty of upside left. Copp is a young 4th liner, but not much upside IMO. Petan is a boom or bust prospect. Stafford is UFA after this season IIRC. Only combination I'd rule out is Armia + Stafford, just because they're both RW.

 

[TT1]

Beaulieu had like 8-9 pts in 4 pre-season games, i know it's the preseason but let's see what he can do with Weber first.

Also Lehkonen looks really good, we also have Shaw that can move up and down our lineup.

not close valuewise

Lol in every habs trade thread you guys hail lekhonen andrighetto and mccarron all as top 6 wingers and try to offer them to everyone...

McCarron isnt a top 6 player (and will never be imo), Lehkonen isn't going anywhere, Andrighetto is a middle 6'er (more of a 3rd liner). Hello I'm a Habs fan.

 

[bleuetbio]

So you have watched the games.... and you came here after to trade him?

Bra...Vo!

 

[BatVader]

Beaulieu alone won't get this.
Would be really good for him to get traded out of Foxhole town, but looks like he's Therriens scapegoat incase the season goes badly.
"Would have done better, but Beaulieu..."

Would easily get it.Makes no sense for the Habs to even think about it.
