The Blackhawks won't announce this trade until 5 years after the trade happens.

Figured something would come of Hall being out for the season and now Perry being terminated. His contract that is

They've been trying to unload him and clear that salary since they brought him in, makes sense Chicago would be ready to pull the trigger.

Doubt much is coming back the other way.

I feel like I recall Canucks fans on here arguing that Beauvillier had value as recently as a few weeks ago.

 

[SI90]

Damn. Moms love Beauviller.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good move

Idk about that. We just wanted the cap space

What happened? He seemed rejuvenated after arriving in Vancouver.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Fine with this

No real downside for Hawks

We have plenty of draft picks and prospects, so 5th doesn't hurt to try and improve NHL roster

Not this canucks fan. We take the 5th and run.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Wow just a 5th?

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Does this guy suck at hockey?

 

[neelynugs]

did vancouver give up the 5th or chicago did? he seemed like a negative asset to me

 

[Raistlin]

they need to free up cap, 5th is fine... 4.2 for what he delivers super inconsistently is too much.... will miss his speed though.

Boeser is back to his rookie self, between him and Garland, they should keep Garland every day of the week.

good move.

Does this guy suck at hockey?

Yes. He’s mid af. 4 mill of cap space is huge for Vancouver.. probably going to sign bear

Chicago did

 

[dirtydanglez]

thought he'd have a bit more value than that. i guess there werent many teams that could take $4m.

He’s a pending UFA and hasn’t found traction on any line this year. Small forward who is decently fast and good on forecheck but just can’t really score. Frees up $4m for Vancouver to acquire a defenseman now - I’d expect this to drop soon too.

 

[DimitriL07]

He’s not great, can forecheck when he wants to try but can’t hit a barn door

 

[eviohh26]

Does this guy suck at hockey?

Kinda. He has speed and was playing better as of late. But he doesn't really do anything great.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Not this canucks fan. We take the 5th and run.

Yeah I may be wrong with that, not sure why I remembered that.

Curious for what the Canucks use his money on, they could go shopping for a defenseman now that they have some money cleared out.

 

[Warh1ppy]

Streaky player. Middle 6 producer when he is playing but otherwise is about as meh at both ends of the ice as one could imagine. Bedard might get some production out of him the same way pettersson did.

Kind of thought the Canucks would do a shade better than a 5th for him, but cap space is huge and they need it to sign Ethan Bear next week

 

[Szechwan]

I feel like I recall Canucks fans on here arguing that Beauvillier had value as recently as a few weeks ago.

Feel free to post some quotes then because most Vancouver fans I've seen have been trying to straight up dump that contract for months.

I could see something thinking that after his hot start with the team last season, but as of now he's turned back into a pumpkin.
