Pretty much right on the value most thought he would garner.

Wish him better health (and therefore an actual chance at a career in hockey) but I am glad that the drama is no longer on our plate.

I really hope he gets healthy... somewhere else. Best of luck Beau.

We will see what he can do when he no longer plays his home games in a building that was built on an Indian burial ground.

Well...he's going to a team that is literally based on a curse...

And he is still Beau Bennett.

So...RIP.

Wish Beau all the best. He definitely belongs in this league, he just can't stay on the ice which is too bad. He goes to a team where he'll be on an "82 games by committee" situation with Michael Cammalleri and Jacob Josefson...

Molinari says Beau declined to be interviewed about the trade.

Good luck to the guy, I really hope he gets healthy enough to play.

Stone cold steal, nice job GMJR

Hope he stays well enough to earn a roster spot. New team, new training staff, new outlook.

Poor a little liquor out for your homie, @dodint.

Same Beau.

I do wish him well, but I think this will probably be his last year in hockey (which will indeed make this trade look like a steal as RonnieFranchise says). Beau will join the ranks of the many very talented ex-players out there who could never make it because of injuries.

If I recall correctly, he had a bad shoulder when they drafted him. That certainly set the tone. He doesn't seem physically cable of staying in the league.

Postby **NTP66** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 1:06 pm

Well, at least he was traded to a team in the East. Can you imagine if he had to face West teams every other night?

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 1:19 pm

He has 9 points in 40 games against the West in his career...

First round caliber performing....

Postby **NTP66** » Sat Jun 25, 2016 1:21 pm

I meant physically. He would get turned into a pile of mush.

He's from California...you don't **** where you eat...

Yeah, I was agreeing with you...but without words that would indicate that

I predict a big year for Beau.
