Surprised he got 800k more then McCabe AAV, but in the grand scheme of things his contract is more then fair. Only when compared to McCabes deal could you question any of it but even taking into account McCabes deal this is still totally fine, salary and term wise. Beaulieu is still an RFA after this deal is up correct? Or does this take him right into unrestricted free agency?
Either way, it feels good to have our D in place. We have our top 6 locked in place and the two oldest are 27 years of age. The other 4 are in their early or mid 20s and we also have Guhle waiting in the wings. It's remarkable how much better our D is now in the short time Botterill has been in charge.
