Confirmed Trade: [WSH/PIT] Anthony Beauvillier for 2025 2nd round pick

[wej20]

Prices are high this year. Was expectin a 3rd or a 4th+6th/7th.

uhm ......... what the ????

A second?

Crazy enough that the Caps and Pens are dealing together, crazier still the Caps are giving draft picks away.

 

[Slashers98]

The Preds claimed Jakub Vrana from the Caps... and Washington's pick is almost a 3rd rounder in a weak draft class.

Seller's market

I guess since Nelson went to Colorado and Bailey “retired”, Beauvillier was the last choice on the Killer B’s for Washington.

 

[Roshi]

Yuck, hate it for my Caps. Of all teams we want to completely overpay for Pens-scrabs that we really didnt need at all. Cool..

Gotta hope there is more moves for Caps to come for this to make any sense.

 

[Zbynek]

My thought about Dubas right now

 

[Giskard]

Crazy a 2nd for Beauvillier

 

[Ugene Magic]

Thanks Caps!

 

[DeltaSwede]

What a massive over pay but I guess that's the going rate in almost all trades this year. GMs really do hate the 2025 draft class

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Great return but I like Beau he's not crap. He'd be a fan favorite contributor on a bottom line if the penguins were a contender.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Thank you Washington

 

[Edmonton East]

Caps are a top contender. Who the hell cares about a late 2nd for forward depth? It's not like they are some mid playoff team.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Nice bit of work, dubas always good on these small value trades but suck at the big impact moves.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ooof that is a lot for Beauvilier.

 

[Jacob]

Beauvillier's better than Vrana, especially if you're talking bottom 6.

He's like Hagelin. Not the Hagelin that had that crazy year with Bonino & Kessel, the Hagelin a couple years later.

 

[Extra Texture]

For a one year experiment which wasnt all that successful, getting a 2nd rounder for him is incredible.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Beauvillier has been a warm body.

 

[GossomeRwing]

Damn. Great year to be a seller...

It surely looks that way I wish Waddell would realize that and move a few pending UFA's. Columbus has improved but they are not ready for prime time just yet. I hope he at least has his phone on.
As for the Pitt/Wash I don't like it for the Caps, I would rather they used a 2nd rd. pick as a plus and added an Experienced top 4 D-MAN who is able to cover mistakes of an overzealous Offensive D-man or a younger D-man
someone who plays a hard physical game who blocks shots maybe they will in the off season

 

[Crow]

Wow he sucked the last two years.

 

[bossram]

Demented seller's market. Dubas getting this for Beauvillier is black magic.

 

[JKG33]

I'm kinda surprised that's all Washington is doing. They've got a ridiculously easy path to the ECF, I know they're not a legit contender but this seems like a good year to burn a 1st rd pick

 

[tnnr]

Dubas has been excellent, my goodness he just turned

M. Pettersson, Bunting, Glass, Beauviller, DOC, Desharnais into

Tommy Novak
Danton Heinen
Melvin Fernstrom
1st rd pick
2nd rd pick
2nd rd pick
4th rd pick
3rd rd pick
3rd rd pick
5th rd pick
6th rd pick
+ Cap Space

A 2nd??? This was a seller market.
