T.Demko Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Does this trade look like a win boys?! Would have been stoked to also have another 1st, Lundqvist and that Chytil guy right about now. We would seriously be trending the right direction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islanders really needed to dump cap to make the trade work. And they’d also been trying to trade Beauvillier for the past year or so. Plus, he’d been playing at “negative value,” at least statistically, for the past 100+ games in New York. I think when you look at the trade on the day it was made, AB was a bit of a cap dump. I may even have said as much myself. But I also remember saying that I liked his chances to rebound, and could easily see him getting back to something much closer to the player he’d been trending toward a couple years earlier (when he had a very favourable statistical profile). Worth noting that one of the stated goals of this management team was to identify and target under-valued players in the early to mid-20s age group who might benefit from a change of scenery and could offer significant value to this team, at a relatively low cost of acquisition. It’s starting to look like Beauvillier might be one of these players, and a nice feather in the caps of the pro scouts and management team.

Miller vs Horvat. AB and Raty versus Lundqvist and Chytill. And what it means to for tanking for this years first or not tanking. Last night if Horvat was on the ice instead of Miller when cousin did his dirty work and fled...well 8.5 years of skating away was also part of the elephant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably zero, since Beauvillier and Petey are on the same line and same PP unit... He is fitting in well on that top line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The most bizarre thing is that we've won pretty much every faceoff match up since Bo's trade. Wonder what that's about. Miller and Petey have really stepped it up. Makes no sense. We're still a dreadful team but Petey and Miller have elevated their game since Bo left which is no surprise, and you could argue that Beauvillier is replacing his scoring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Beau is outscoring Bo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 After 7 games (short sample) Bo (27) - 3 goals 1 assist = 4 pts Beau (25) - 4 goals 2 assists = 6 pts Plus they gave the Canucks Raty and a 1st? Excellent trade, really liking the chemistry with Petey. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Petey is a man on a mission. Love this new belly fire he has found. Makes everyone around him better. That 1 time slapper just prior to the first goal was a great example of his growing confidence. You can't tell me that Hart wasn't stunned by that blast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which apparently Islanders fans are pretty choked with Bo over his lack of physicality Makes me wonder if Horvat will struggle with the Islanders, never really living up to the expectations considering how much they re-signed him for and gave up to get him. The eastern conference is tough and physical, with teams like Boston, Washington and the rival Rangers. Bo is a very solid guy (has he ever really been injured?), so you'd think he'd be a wrecking ball, but he plays a nice, fair game. Doesn't want to mess up his face if he wants to make more commercials with McDavid. I can see Islanders fans becoming impatient and their team missing the playoffs. Who knows, Lou might want to get this nightmare trade over with and behind them by giving VAN the 1st this year, even if they finish 10th. Canucks could possibly have two picks in the Top 10.

Excellent trade, really liking the chemistry with Petey. A durable and steady 3-1-4 with a billion face off wins in 7 games… *squints* yep… no doubt about it. That’s Bo Horvat. Id expect a bit higher PPG over the rest of the season but that’s the player we’ve seen in Vancouver the past near-decade. Nothing wrong with it either as a 2C. As for Beau, I’m not holding my breath that he’s a PPG guy but another serviceable winger just means we need to sell on whoever has the highest value. If we had to take cap back, I’m glad it’s for a guy who’s producing and fitting in with the locker room well.

Petey and Miller go about it in very different ways but do share the fact that they want to succeed and put a lot of pressure on themselves to make it happen. If Mikheyev is going to play with Petey next year, they need to find Miller a good two-way winger to help him one defensively - like how Pearson and him really worked well together last season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
