it was a very short period, i think it was 5 games, at the end of the season (2017), and Beau centered Lee and Bailey, and did great. ppg, i think?
i think his size holds him back when he plays wing. at 170 lbs, i don't think he won many board battles. he tried like hell, and has a tricky stick, but he just wasn't big and strong enough.
if JT stays, and he and Barzal occupy 1 & 2C, i can see Beau staying on Barzal's wing. but if JT leaves, Beau could slide into the 2C spot.
If it takes a superstar to leave for NYI to be desperate enough to put AB at center, then he’s not really a center.
