Pretty good pick up for Winnipeg. Didn’t give up really anything

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I don't hate it.

 

[jetsforever]

Better.

3rd round pick->Beaulieu->6th round pick. Considering he was useless year one I'm happy the Sabres got anything for him, but he really deserved to play over Scandella...

Can any Sabres fans give a description of Beaulieu as a player?

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I still think Beaulieu could turn into well a bit of a better player?

 

[dire wolf]

Good depth move for WPG. I hated Beaulieu last year, but he's actually been pretty decent this year when they've bothered to put him in the lineup.

 

[Mattilaus]

My reaction is "eh"

 

[howkie]

Means Niku is going down to Moose?

I rather have him play over Morrow, but I guess that will not happen.

This was the trade the Hockey World was waiting for.

 

[Siludin]

That's a really good trade by the Jets

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Jets gearing up for another run. This one is like a Morrow type of move last year.

He probably only cracks the lineup on the last game of the season when they're resting guys.

 

[LMFAO]

Beaulieu to replace Lemieux as the team's goon ?

He's been a pretty good depth guy this year. Plenty of Sabres fans would've preferred to keep him over Scandella, for example. He plays pretty physical and is a surprisingly accomplished fighter but can be prone to mindless plays which he has definitely cut down on thus far.

Could be a good bottom pairing d man for the Jets here.

Pretty good skater, can be physical at times, will drop the gloves if he needs to, pretty good slap shot. He plays a pretty aggressive offensive game. He's not afraid to go all the way in on the forecheck. When he has a good D partner and keeps his game simple, he has been adequate in his own zone. Last year, he was a train wreck in the D zone. I actually think he would be a good 4th line winger.

Erik Gudbranson for 3rd and a conditional 6th, Beaulieu for a 6th.

Sounds about right. Beaulieu is much better, by the way.

Winnipeg fans will like Beaulieu. He's definitely improved his game from last season. He can fill in on your 3rd pairing nicely. A good guy to have on your team when making a playoff run.

Beaulieu loves to go out, he won't love it there in cold winnipeg hahaha

Decent skater, Decent offensively, physical sometimes, can throw em pretty well when needed. Questionable IQ.

He’s been much better this year than last year. Many of us wanted him in the lineup over Scandella. He’s pretty much what you want in a #6-7 dman. We traded a 3rd to get him, so given his improvement this year, a 6th is a steal. Good depth move for Wpg

nowhere to party in winnipeg, so he should be focused
