Rumor: Vancouver looking to move Beauvillier

[Frankie Blueberries]

Beauvillier has 1 year remaining on his contract (becomes a UFA) with a $4.15 mill cap hit. He has 5 points in 12 games playing in the bottom 6.

still think a peeke/beauvillier makes too much sense.

cbj needs to move a defenseman and add veterans, but garland has too much term to be an ideal fit. salaries line up well.

 

[StreetHawk]

Garland was always harder to move because he has term after this season of 2 more years. They'd love to move him because the Canucks have Myers, Beauv, Cole come off the books for $13 mill after the season. Increase in the cap of say $4.5 mill to $88 mill which appears to be the max. But, of that $17.5 mill, subtract close to $3 mill for replacements for their roster spots and $2.2 mill for the increase in the OEL buyout. That's around $5 mill, leaving $12.5 mill left. Somewhere around half of this needs to cover the increases to Petey and Hronek who are combined at $11.8 mill right now. Would leave them $6 mill to improve the team, less anyone else who needs a new contract.

That's why they really want to move Garland. They are hoping his play picks up enough this season that they can at least facilitate a move in the off-season to free up some of that $5 mill cap charge.

I figured it would be Beauvilier.

Easier to move and similar offensive production to Garland.

Current Canucks lines:

Di Giuseppe-Miller-Boeser
Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Mikheyev
Joshua-Suter-Garland
Beauvillier-Lafferty-Höglander

Blueger coming in soon and Studnicka is the extra.

Basically need a 4/5 RH D. Tanev would be perfect but a younger not a poised version is fine too.
Some prospects probably available. Podkolzin may be movable as well for the right type of offer.

I’d rather sign Bear than trade for Peeke to be honest.

I’d rather get a 3rd/4th round pick than Beauvillier (or any roster player) to be honest.

 

[Flan the incredible]

No one wanted Garland and his contract. 3 points in 12 games while carrying a 5 mill cap hit for 3 years....oof

Beauv is an expiring 4 mill deal 5 points in 12 games is pretty blah too. I would be shocked if one of the few teams capable of taking him on have any interest at all unless they get a sweetener or give back another contract.

Teams trying to shed cap dont have any negotiation power especially for players who are not performing up to their contracts. I would be shocked if they found any trade partners.

Ok?

 

[Cowumbus]

Ok?

So are you saying you agree to trade a 3rd for Peeke?

CBJ have too many players as is, and can’t take on more bodies.

 

[Siludin]

Didn't Garland ask for a trade? Wasn't that the context of this whole thing with Garland to begin with?

No I’m saying I’d have little interest in Peeke. You’re the one that brought up Peeke into a conversation about Beauvillier.

I thought we were talking about this post you responded to…

Beauvillier is so vanilla as a 3rd line player making $4M+, this early in the season, he has no value or even fully retained at the deadline. Teams add D depth at the deadline, not a warm body. He hasn't been in prime position due to better Fs in VAN compared to NYI so I'm not sure what a trade would entail. Which team would acquire a late round pick caliber/value player that costs $4M

 

[Peter Griffin]

Yes, I was saying I have no interest in a Beauvillier for Peeke swap, thought that was pretty obvious.

 

[Cogburn]

Beauvillier is expiring this offseason. If he is moved to open a roster spot, it will be for a pick/prospect, and if it's for another roster player, they either need a great cap hit or another expiring contract.

As for an RHD, we have Hronek, a revitalized Myers and Friedman, and all three have been doing fine. We would want someone better then fine, therefore.

 

[Cowumbus]

Yes, I was saying I have no interest in a Beauvillier for Peeke swap, thought that was pretty obvious.

And I said I’d rather picks than Beauvillier, in a Peeke deal, pretty obvious?

You replied “ok?”

Which doesn’t make sense

Because it isn’t relevant to the conversation of the Canucks moving Beauvillier. The trade doesn’t have to include Columbus or Andrew Peeke. YOU brought Peeke into the conversation, I don’t care what you want for Peeke.
Edit: I see you didn’t originally mention the Peeke for Beau proposal, but were just saying you’d rather keep Peeke than move him for Beau. That’s understandable. My bad.

Canucks shouldn't be desperate to move him right now. Should probably wait until closer to the deadline. The "problem" is just that they have a fully healthy roster and I'm sure Blueger is just chomping at the bit to play.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Even though the Flames have a billion wingers and definitely don't need another middle sixer, this is exactly like something they'd do. That is to say, move Tanev for Beauvillier. If the Flames weren't so depleted on defense, they'd probably already have done it by now.

I think they may need to move Beauvillier earlier if they want to sign Bear.

True, but with Bear, they can at least wait until closer to Christmas when it's anticipated he'll be fully recovered. By that time, some LTIR space might open up on the roster. The point is, the Canucks can afford to be patient and wait and see what happens

 

[Petes2424]

Beauvillier for Justin Holl…. There’s your RHD Canucks.

 

[Bankerguy]

play him with Pettersson for 5 games... he's end up being a PPG player with like 16 pts in 16 games on the season
instant trade value

 

[Rey]

So who’s Grady sas? Another nobody ?

 

[SEALBound]

Moving Beauvillier because Teddy Bleuger is coming back...

Man, what a time to be alive.
