You're saying that Beau with retention will pass through waivers, Peeke wouldn't, and yet it would be even better for them if they did this trade and Beau was claimed. Yeah, I thought so too. I imagine we would have to throw in a prospect and maybe a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking at moving either Adam Boqvist or Andrew Peeke. They want a contract back that they can just bury in the minors as their roster is complete. Trading for Beauvillier makes sense for them as they can just bury him in the minors and trade him at the deadline and he will be gone next summer. We retain $1.4 million to match the contract of Peeke dollar for dollar so Columbus can retain cap space for the trade deadline. Vancouver gets a solid defensive defenceman in Peeke who can play with Hughes. He averaged over 21 minutes a night the last 2 seasons. His +/- is horrific, but in Tocchet's new system he may flourish. He is big, strong, hits and blocks shots and was on the #1 PK unit last season with Columbus. He is signed for 3 more seasons at $2.75 million which is very reasonable as he is only 25 years old and hasn't hit his prime yet. Beau could be utilized by CBJ. No need to waive. Think a deal like this makes a ton of sense for both clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
