News: Nathan Beaulieu requests to be traded from the Sabres

[Just Linda]

Think Chiarelli still has an open contract spot and a 2nd rder available

NB is the type of palyer the Oilers purged from their locker room the last few years. I can't see them wanting him.

 

[lifeisruff]

Beaulieu is a perfectly competent bottom pairing Dman, (this year at least). But he's clearly the odd man out.

 

[HaNotsri]

It’s a very reasonable demand. He’s been better than Scandella but gets scratched game after game.

 

[WildThingRickVaughn]

Sold.

Id be surprised if we could get a 3rd for him.

Getting a third for Beaulieu would be the biggest steal since getting Skinner for Pu and a 2nd

 

[nickdawg95]

Last year Beaulieu was straight ass

This year in a proper bottom pairing role he hasn't been too bad,

Good skater, Good offensive instinct and adds some grit/sandpaper

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Goldobin and Pouliot for Bealieu and a 2019 2nd

No. Goldy for Beaulieu, yes.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Ruzicka and he's yours!

That’s equivalent to a mid pick so sure

 

[MarkusKetterer]

That’s equivalent to a mid pick so sure

I know. 4th rounder. I just like the guys game.

 

[Sparksrus3]

When he was drafted the year after Tinordi was drafted also as a first rounder I thought Montreal was going to really have something tough to play against in the years ahead.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Oh boy Chia is gonna trade Chiasson and a 4th for him.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Team like Ottawa might as well give him a shot

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[KingsHockey24]

Forbort for Beaulieu and a 4th.

 

[Yatzhee]

Can't blame him honestly. When he has been in, as a fan, I've liked his game. Nothing fancy or flashy, but he hasn't been one of the issues on Buffalo's blueline this season. Sad that Housley doesn't give him the opportunity.
Scandella has looked good at times as well, then other times hasn't looked so good. and Nate is an RHD, I keep him over Scandella.

 

[A55P2]

Not sure that's the best move. He was mostly thrash with Montreal, he's got a very poor hockey IQ. I was actually surprised he wasn't sent down last year, but hey maybe as some say here he got better. I doubt it'd be a significant improvement though.

 

[SEALBound]

Beaulieu for Oleksiak?

 

[Buffalo Preds]

I can’t imagine he’s the only Sabres blueliner baffled by Scandella getting minutes while they’re a healthy scratch. Got to be frustrating.

 

[HanSolo]

I remember the days when Beau was supposed to be this future stud like they were yesterday.

 

[threeVo]

they scratched Pilut who has been overall at worst our 4th best D to play Scandella. Hes been terrible this year. NB got hurt but was playing well. Since hes not gotten much of a chance

Good skater, Good offensive instinct and adds some grit/sandpaper

0 hockey iq tho

 

[Clayonator]

Edmonton

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

What's the scouting report for him at this point in his career?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ya I can see the Canucks looking at Beaulieu for Goldobin.

 

[M2Beezy]

Ya I can see the Canucks looking at Beaulieu for Goldobin.

Maybe if they add a 2nd or two 3rds

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

If he can't make the Sabres D, what makes him think he can play on many other teams' D?
