Confirmed with Link: Beauvillier to Nashville (2024 5rd pick)

[WarriorofTime]

Moved down 18 spots in the all-important fifth round for 23 games of Beauvillier. Completely unacceptable. Fire everyone.

 

[Mrfenn92]

They went into the season with guys like Reese Johnson making the opening night roster.

It was never about injuries.

They lacked depth from the start.

That’s called the plan. I know KD got rid of your two boys but come on.

 

[WarriorofTime]

They should have never had to trade for Beauvillier in the first place. They only did because of poor planning.

If by poor planning you mean a bunch of forwards injuries and Perry doing whatever he did.

He's better than he showed here, imo. Glad to get a 5th back.

It was also never about winning. How many forwards played games for the hawks prior to having to make a move?

 

[Larmer83]

Thank you Trots, it's good old connection time.

So the Hawks gave a conditional 5th to get him, what was the condition?

The 5th becomes a 6th if the Nashville HF forum takes Musto off the Hawks forum.

KD loses on the Beauvilkier moves..

To get him we gave Vancouver tge highest (best) of any 5th rounder we have at 2924 Draft = our own 5th =#129 (or maybe #130 if we finish 2nd last to SJ)..ie. very top of 4th roubd..

Se ding Beauvillier to Nashville we get a puck approx #147 (they currently arex13th best team i NHL(..IF they get to WCFibal that pick is worse...=at end of 5yh roubd.

Worst case:Beauvillier r costs us 30-31 positions if Nashville wins Cup or "just 28-29 positions if they get to WCFinal and lose ...

Or best case is that the pick is about #147 if they stay 13th best after playoffs.

So yes we getcax5th back but much later than had we not gotten Beauvilliier in the first place.

Best Hawks 5th ever=Andrew Saw taken at #139 ...We coukd have had #129 -#130 had KD never bothered to get Beauvillier...

BUT maybe KF will packagecthe Nash 5th with a pkayer ...retain and get a 2ndvorc3rd back?

T.Jonnso × Nashville 5th for a conditional 2nd (becomes 3rd ) if team we trade Johnson to does notcadvancecto WC Final) sonetging likevthat?

Not understanding how filling a hole with a veteran due to unexpected rash of injuries without either rushing a kid or bringing up someone you wanted the kids on the hogs playing with.
If he had more success with CB maybe the pick moves up a round or 2. He didn’t so it didn’t.
But the cost was very low to find out.

Not a good strategy to trade picks when you're rebuilding because you didn't plan properly

Oh cool!

Musto, what would have been a good plan?

 

[Space umpire]

Musto, what would have been a good plan?

C’mon now, Clearly Musto’s plan would be to have 14 NHL level forwards in Chicago and 10 more NHL level forwards in Rockford.
You can then break in the kids by playing them 4th line minutes every 3rd game in Rockford.

That’s how you plan for injuries in Mustoland.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Eh, lotto ticket for not much of a player. Sounds about right.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

We got our first bowl of soup, any more coming or no soup for you!

R. Johnson was like a 15th forward coming out of the offseason.

Connor Bedard
Taylor Hall
Lukas Reichel
Corey Perry
Nick Foligno
Andreas Athanasiou
Tyler Johnson
Jason Dickinson
Taylor Raddysh
Phillipp Kurashev
Ryan Donato
Colin Blackwell
Mackenzie Entwistle
Boris Katchouk
Reese Johnson
Cole Guttman
Joey Anderson
Mike Hardman
Brett Seney
David Gust

There’s always been some injuries to keep him up (Blackwell and Kurashev began the season on IR).

They had about 17 NHL-ish forwards. And of course were actively trying to tank.

 

[shakes the clown]

If he's worth a 5th then Blackwell has to be worth a 3rd. Get it done Kyle!

 

[Northernhawk]

I thought for sure for sure that Beauvillier was going to be traded…to NYI as they love their retreads…but on further review Trotz did have him Long Island

 

[giza]

I have to say he was quite disappointing. He was the main piece in the Horvat trade and apparently didn't fit in to the Nuck's plan either. He was given an opp here and didn't do anything with it....so we got a body when we needed one, got some games and get a slightly worse pick without retaining any salary.....works for me.

From second city hockey

For the Blackhawks, the move makes sense: with the return of Andreas Athanasiou (groin injury) to the lineup happening as early as Saturday against the Washington Capitals, and NCAA prospects like Landon Slaggert and Frank Nazar possibly signing in the coming weeks, Beauvillier just wasn’t needed anymore.

He wasn’t the main piece. The isles first was the main piece.

MEH!

Oh and by the way…he freed up $4.1 million in cap space…BOOM…no one had mentioned that yet, no rention, no ‘third team’ needed…pretty good deal actually

Only team in NHL with $10 million plus in cap space!

C’mon Kev! You can’t be this backward. It’s a 5th rd pick.

 

[hockeydoug]

I'm confused for Nashville.

Glad they go their guy.

Dude will be infinitely more remembered for drunk tweeting at Anna Kendrick than anything he did in his playing career.
