[1909]

I never imagined so many posters would cry because Beaulieu is traded.

Only on this board.

Only here exists 20+ pages of whining on trading bottom pairing defenseman or 4th liners

And undrafted players that other teams pick up that we "should've" aquired

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

So we have what...1 mobile Dman left?

Habs have traded Beaulieu, McDonaugh, Subban. They better hope Beaulieu doesn't get coached up and become a good player.

Davidson leapfroged

No he did not. Maybe in the mind of the coach but on the ice Davidson was not any better.

Or else what?

I personally hope he is. I wish him all the success in Buffalo and hope he can develop and reache his potential as a 35 points dman with an okay defensive game. Gonna be awesome if he can. I wish the best to any player who played for this team.

Sometimes a team is better off after removing a high end player from the roster/dressing room because he's a headache. In this case we're removing a mediocre at best player. Habs are tired of Beaulieu's act and decided they're better off without him. It's not a big loss...he's very replaceable. Salvaging an early 3rd for a headache and low impact player isn't such a bad thing.

Well first this have absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

But since you want to go there, Beaulieu is a sacrificial pawn alright, which make this move out of turn. If you are to trade Brolieu for a 3rd today, a few hours before the roster freeze with your back against the wall, then you should have flipped him at the dead line (or even the previous off-season), for either scoring help or better asset.

Don't remember seeing your wishes for DD who did way more for this team then Beaulieu

there was about 20 teams today that tried to make deals but FAILED....Bergevin was able to pull it off but somehow there's a negative in all this...

 

[montreal]

stick to the topic, not posters.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Let me guess....we're protecting Davidson??

So you protect Emelin,Davidson or Redmond?

You keep Beau or you trade for a Dman.

The Canadiens wouldn't have traded Beaulieu the previous offseason because they still hoped he could meet expectations; that's why he started the season on the #1 defensive pairing. They could have traded him at the deadline, however why do you believe the return would have been anything greater than what they just received? What team would have offered anyone who could be considered "scoring help" for a D-man who failed to impress two different coaches this past season?

MB might be a genius:

1- He knows Vegas wanted Beaulieu. He traded him.

2- Vegas then need to pick Plekanec.

3-MB now has a lot of free capspace available and lot of picks im the bank.

4- He offersheet Johanssen or Draisatl to a 8/9M$ deal.

boom.

Ps. I dont believe it myself.

They can just choose Hudon, cheaper, younger and maybe he ill be able to get 30 points too.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

My ass !

Just like trading Subban...

We will hear the same thing if Galchy is traded.

How about the leadership ? Weber's acquisition was supposed to prevent this.

Surely there is something negative here, since you just rationalized the whole situation out of context to make it look decent.

Beaulieu was a resident of Therrien's doghouse for his entire time here, he was expected to be moved for the last 3 years. The final chapter is he was traded at the 11th hour for a 3rd. How many of those 20 teams had the same situation on their hands?

If Beaulieu is making the same mistakes since his first year in Hamilton, how is Weber supposed to fix that?

That's not why we traded him, we traded him because off his "off ice issues", leadership was supposed to prevent that.

We need to protect great players like Benn/Emelin, you can't risk loosing them, Beau had to go.

The starting point being the state of the Habs offense at the dead line, the list of players and teams able to provide something considered "scoring help" is long and wide.

What a load of bs. vets have their own kids to take care of , they are not babysitters.

No my bad. Just saw that the reason is: "LVG would have picked him". So it was impossible to just protect him ?
