From the other thread;

He was on a line for the most part last night with Brock and Bailey.. who never forcheck. This is usually my point.. when the other team has the puck there are guys who go after them and pressure them.. Why don't you guys see this? How many times do guys like Beau, Clutter, Casey, and Parise pressure guys into making a mistake that keeps the puck in the O-zone. Do you guys only see goals? A huge part of this teams success is forechecking, pressure, and team defense. when they don't do this they stink..

You hear Torts interview the other day? It's a huge part of hockey.. when your team isn't doing it they suck.

I don’t think there’s anyone on here that doesn’t appreciate the fact that forechecking effectively is an extremely important part of the game. I say that with or without said player scoring. I just don’t think Beau is as effective at doing it as much as you do. I see him skate into the boards at high speed where the puck is which is great then more often then not see the opposing team come out with the puck which isn’t. How do you not see this? Are you not watching the games? Do you just like players that skate around at high speeds aimlessly without the puck?

I’m totally for throwing Beau on with Barzal also. Said it earlier and I’ll say it again.

My response from the other thread

Imagine thinking nobody sees that but you. How many times has everybody said on here how he is all over the place and is one of the few guys with wheels who forechecks. AGAIN for him to be an effective top 6 winger he has to get on the scoresheet a lot more then he does. That's why I said the other day on a deeper team he is a bottom 6 forward. A very good bottom 6 forward. Nobody is disputing this. The debate is whether or not he is top 6 and so far the answer is probably no

All 3 and 4th liners you mentioned when you compared Beau. Isn't that pretty much agreeing with what we have been saying this whole time?

Yeah I think he’d be a better bottom 6 fwd with where he is today but I also think we would be asking for more physicality from him if he were. He’s one of those players that’s not really good enough to be a top 6 fwd and not physical enough to be a bottom 6 imo. I say this speaking to it where he is at this point. Even I, the supposed “hater” of this kid, am still hoping he puts it all together.
