He was good when he played for Buffalo this year.
Way better than Scandella, Hunwick.
Didn't like this trade one bit.

Beaulieu is talented, I can't deny that. The problem is how he perceive himself on the ice. He thinks he does everything well but in reality he sucks.

What does this even mean? On one hand, you cant deny he has talent and agree he is talented. But continue on to say that ‘in reality he sucks’. Im confused.

Don’t worry jets fans. Once you are past the 10 game honeymoon, be prepared to witness the most boneheaded mistakes you will ever see in an NHL arena

he doesn't listen to his coaches and he thinks he does everything well. He is a liability on the ice and is a turnover machine.
Enjoy the honeymoon for 10 games MAX.

Dude, we've had to witness Buff shoot a puck into the crowd from behind his own net with no pressure on him at all with 2 seconds left in a period, Bogosian tripping on his own feet behind his net and then pushing the puck while flailing to the front of the net for a Corey Perry tap in, Myers catching the puck in mid air then swinging his whole hand around his own back and throw the puck in front of him (penalty, obviously), Myers constantly taking useless penalties while we're already shorthanded, Postma touching a puck that would have been a high stick if the other team had touched it in our defensive zone, giving it straight to the other team for a goal, Laine taking a full-on shot into his own net, Hainsey constantly angling himself to block shots in a way that when he does block the shot it would be directed straight towards the net. Over the years I have questioned if Myers is brain dead literally dozens of times. Trust me, we're well prepared for this if it happens and it likely won't be the worst we've seen.

So you know first hand that he doesn't listen to coaches? You were there to witness him blatantly ignoring coaches direction? Perhaps you were told by said coaches that this happened?
Left out of this somehow is we had Mark Stuart playing in our top 4 for years. YEARS, as in multiple. The guy couldn’t cut it in the DEL after we bought him out. Playing shorthanded was better than having Stuart ok the ice, at least then you knew It was 5v4 and didn’t have to pretend to give him the benefit of doubt that he was in fact a living breathing human.

Always liked Beau... I think it's a great pickup. If nothing else it's a depth player who can skate.

He didnt leave Buffalo on bad terms. He said he wanted to stay here but wanted to play. Our idiot coach is the one that decided not to play him in favor of derps like Scandella and Hunwick. He played well this year before getting hurt and being taken out of the rotation.
Well if he figured out how to be consistently good he would be a top 4 D. Definitely has flashes/good games time to time showing why he was a 1st round pick.
Always liked Nate. While he does sometimes get stuck in his own head and do dumb-ass stuff, he’s got potential if a team can figure a way to drum out all the stupid crap Michel Therrien crammed into his brain.

I always find it funny how quickly the perception of a player can change when he goes from one team to another.
It wasn't so long ago Scandella was considered a legitimate top 4 defenseman.
