I would love him to be an Islander for a long time, but he has to find more consistency and it has to find it soon IMO

Pretty much how I feel but I’m probably less enthusiastic with his chances. I think there’s more of a chance he’s gone then not but I’m hoping the kid figured it out with us. I want nothing more then for him to kill it with us.

I think he is the most likely candidate to go if they try to upgrade for a scoring forward. He has potential and youth but they definitely are going to add to him to get a legit top 6 player. Also the way they use the 3rd and 4th lines I think someone from the top 6 has to go. Wally is the other option

Wasn’t Montreal interested in Beau at one time?

Said this numerous times. He’s the most tradeable/salaried player on the team. With that said I think his value has taken a hit the last couple of seasons. Teams must not be seeing his hustle.

Yep. I don’t have any expectations at this point. If it happens wonderful color me pleasantly surprised. I say this while also believing that this team doesn’t have any business giving up their first in next years draft just yet. I think they can get it together and really start playing well consistently but that’s not a given at this point imo so I’m not really sure it’s a great idea to begin with. Have to figure next yrs first will be part of any package for the players you mentioned.

Pretty sure Montreal is interested in every NHL player that was born anywhere in Quebec

Hopefully they keep playing well but any injury to Nelson, Lee or barzal and they are screwed

You were saying? Since none of you pay attention to anything but points.. That was Beau's 4th shot on net. Dobson also had 4, Lee had 3, Parise had 3, Mayfield had 3. No other forward had more than 1... no other D-man had a single shot.

Beau also had 3 hits and 3 take aways, and tons of forechecks in the corners of the O-zone.. but according to most Isles fans until that goal he was "Invisible" .

I really don't know wtf you guys are watching .. honestly. The shift that turned the 3rd period around again.. was when Beau was on the ice with Brock and Barzal. ..fyi. from that point on they were buzzing.

Easy there, Beau is on the Girls clubs $hit list so you'll never win.
Gotta have guys that do exactly what he does. Hard on the forecheck, creates TO's etc. Would you like some more consistency as far as points? Of course but he's doing his job. Can't have all 3 forwards waiting in the crease for the puck to come to them. You need the grinders to get in there and get it. All though I did hear a brilliant statement on here that if you can improve the team Beau's gone. Wow imagine that? Just brilliant really.

Settle down big guy. You don't think the isles need an upgrade at forward? Who else are they going to move to make an upgrade if they go that route?

I don’t know man. We obviously hate great players who forecheck and play hard. With that said I never had any idea that a team would need a player like that. Are you guys trying to tell me every player on a team can’t be a 30+ goal scorer? I think it means we just have a bad GM. I mean Lameriello come on already. We need four scoring lines. He probably wants to leave anyway this way Ledecky can pay him the extra year on his contract. Fire Lou(for his sake). Also, they will never trade Beau because he’s besties with Barzal. I got that from a trusted source.

Sheesh. I turned on the game late. Beau wasn’t noticeable, hence my post. I’m not even sure he played the last 10 mins. I don’t sit with my pud in my hand staring at Beau’s every move. Sounds like some on here do though. Was hoping my comment would backfire. Glad it did.

I’ll add that while they are watching Beau with their pud in their hand I think the hand is moving back and forth.

Well yeah especially if you think it will improve the team. What a concept. Genius. That’s like saying, “the Islanders better pick it up or they will lose” while posting during a game. I think the islanders won last night because of that not wahlstrom’s fight. Or maybe it was because Beau played a shift with Nelson and Barzal? All of this is from my sauces.

I agree that Beau is good on the forecheck and pk I'd just like more production from him if he's going to stay in a top six spot. Ideally he's a third line guy moving forward and they add up front. Perhaps Lou stays the course and they move holmstrom or raty up next year as i think they are going to be with the big club sooner than later

I think he’s at times good on the forecheck other times not so much. His entire game is inconsistent imo. Honestly can care less about Beau. If he doesn’t straighten his game out he’ll be gone. If he does great. Hopefully he does.
