I’m not doubting you have but where? The Athletic? Also, I have absolutely no idea how Beauvillier has earned that? I don’t understand the love affair with this kid. I’ll also add I don’t hate the kid I just don’t see him as some awesome player. He’s not. He’s like a Marty Mcinnis light.

I love Beau, but he hasn't been able to consistently put it together on the offensive side of things. He brings a ton of other value that I like, but the scoring numbers are the reason I'd be willing to move him in the right deal.

When I say a "significant raise" I don't mean that he's going to be getting $6M/year...but if he' gets $3.5M-$4M then things are going to get real hairy this offseason.

Would want a winger with same term and around 5 million in cap.

And that would be?

Keep in mind that the Panthers currently have Duclair, Hornqvist and Barkov all out with injury.

Spencer Knight? When we already have Sorokin?

I don’t think you’ve thought this through.

I suppose you could make an argument for Tippett or Denisenko but creating a massive hole on your top pairing to get an unproven winger with precisely zero playoff experience is a fire-able offense

MDC still out. Bellows out. This of course means Ross is there for Wilson. Leo ...meanwhile....no idea what the hell he's still here for

Leo is the cheese to Barzy's playmaking diarrhea...wait...what?

Who sits tonight Hickey or Mayfield. You know my decision right away

This place is dead so, in the spirit of getting everyone fired up and yelling at each other...

I think I'd be willing to do something along the lines of:

2022 1st, 2021 2nd, Beauvillier & Aho for Palmieri and Wood

My reasoning here: Wood is only 25 (Beau is 23). Wood is under contract next year for only $2.75M and Beau is due for a significant (relatively speaking) raise, that has to come this offseason. Wood gives them a similarly-valuable player (albeit different styles) at a very manageable cost for next season which gives them a little breathing room and he's only two years older. Wood is still an RFA when his deal expires after next season too, so he's somewhat controllable.

I love Beau, but I think that's a trade that checks a few different boxes
- eichiefs9

think if you are moving a 1st, a 2nd, and beau, you can do better than a UFA rental and a player with less of a ceiling than beau. woods is a fine player, but not worth that amount of quality assets imo.

Dobson returning is exciting and will help with their transition game, not sure some realize how important he is to this team

Definitely agreed. He is one of our top 4 guys and Pelech's absence last year showed how the absence if such a player can negatively impact the game at both ends
