Putgolzin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 9 hours ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Next year that spot is reserved for Mikheyev and Kuzmenko so where does Beauvillier fit? I'd like to see him with Miller, but right now Boeser is out-performing him, and Tocchet seems to like a grinder like PDG on his wing (and rightly so - he's got pretty good chemistry with Miller for some reason). That leaves Beauvillier on the 3rd line. What? Says who? That seems like a lot of heavy assumption. That said, the way Petey said "Kuz is always open" in the video made me raise my eyebrows - probably reading too much into body language, but felt like maybe Petey had enough of him coaching Kuzmenko. Or maybe the mic just makes guys feel like they've got to be talking non-stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 For those that don’t know, Anthony has been the most productive post TDL player this year with 17 points. And anyone else watch Raty play at center? he looks like a bit like EP40 and is very tenacious without the puck. he should be on the rise and with the need for a 3 line C. He could be a cheap option or back solution. provided that Alvin and Rutherford keep up their pro scouting we could stop seeing more cost controlled depth springing up from the farm, as te supposed to happen.

Putgolzin Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I read somewhere recently that Beauvilleur was drafted as a C/LW and that he's said C is his favourite position. Now his FO% percentage would say otherwise, but if he could figure that (albeit major) part of being a C - is there any way he could vie for the 3C position this coming season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we are going to trade him for a pick. Then use some of his cap space to sign Kerfoot for our 3C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue I'd have with that is then we're paying over a 4mil cap hit for a 3rd line center that may or may not be good at faceoffs. Is that really a good use of cap when we're gradually going to need more of it if we're going to turn things around? Perhaps if we didn't have contracts like OEL's in the books we could afford to try that, but I'm hesitant otherwise.

Hectic Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Just came here to say that I am a big fan of AB and think people should stop proposing he be traded!! He can be a big part of our top 6 forward group moving forwards, and think him and Podz should be considered our top 2 LW moving forwards. Top 2 RW = Kuzmenko and Garland/Boeser, and Top 2 C obvs JTM and EP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 2 RW = Kuzmenko and Garland/Boeser, and Top 2 C obvs JTM and EP It's not really so much whether we like him or not, just the reality of the current situation. We're right up against the cap again and have 3 wingers that make each other redundant in Beauvillier, Boeser, and Garland. I'm sure there is a sizable portion of the fan base that like each one but you add in Kuzmenko and Mikheyev and there just isn't enough room in the top 6 (then add Podkolzin and Hoglander who should be pushing for spots as well). Something has to give, and I'm pretty sure the majority opinion at this point is just to trade whichever player brings the best return. None of the 3 are bad players, just a type of player we have too much of. Edit: I should clarify that I don't think they're identical players, just that they fill very similar roles of somewhat streaky offensive wingers that don't bring much physically or defensively. Of the 3 Beauvillier probably has the best defense, Boeser the highest offensive ceiling (but highest cap hit), and Garland brings his petty attitude. But none of the 3 really do enough of anything to make them truly distinct from the other 2 in their roles. Edited July 19 by Diamonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 If the team had a higher level, offensive 3rd line center, the winger problem would not be as pronounced. As it stands, offensive wingers are going to be mostly wasted, if playing with Blueger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Yeah, I liked Beauvillier when he first came, but just form watching, it seemed pretty clear to me that luck was going his way. On top of that, his offense completely vanished once he wasn't playing with top players. He's an adequate 3rd liner who can be a 2nd line guy when hot, but I would say guys like Garland and Boeser are far more likely to be good 2nd line wingers than Beauvillier is.

For me, it's a no-brainer to trade Beau (even if it means a retention or sweetener) for a vet 3C (if at all possible). Hogs is ready to join the team and Pods isn't even included on the team roster anymore, due to so many FWs. The only Winger on the Sharks, that can play in their top 6 is Barabanov LW. Beau could easily play on their top 6 (RW or LW) for this season, which would give their young players another year to develop. Beau (1m retention + 6th rounder 2024) for Sturm C ($2mx2yrs) 28yrs old Kuze Pete Mik Hogs JT Brock Garland Sturm Pods Joshua Bluger Studnika Pizza/ Aman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
