Some GMS/Scouts apparently told Beaulieu he could be ready this year. They could have meant for their team
Markov - Yemelin
Gill - Gorges*
Spacek - Subban
Weber* - Diaz
* = RFA
I don't see him beating any of them. I don't see the habs wanting to rush him. The habs tend to let their prospect develop now... Finally.
However, right now he's probably better than Spacek.
Gauthier said Nygren (due to his age) is a player they could bring over soon to help get adapted to North American ice, but he didn't say this year.
RNH could make the team, but I wouldn't force him to.Landeskog will. Huberdeau very well could be on the Panthers. Larsson, probably. Zibanejad I think will. I believe Schenn gets on the flyers and Couturier waits.
