carpandean Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Beau is pronounced Bo in english Unless it's followed by -tiful. Edited June 19, 2017 by carpandean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Unless it's followed by -tiful. Anything followed by titful wins in my book. Tiddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Forget the pronunciation. I think this will be the first Sabre where we'll all have to forgive the thousands of spelling errors we are about to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Can we just refer to him as Nathan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) No has said how much his 2 year deal is going to cost? 1.5 per season? 2? He made $1 mill last year. I think his qualifying deal is $1.05, but since he scored 28 pts and is arbitration eligible, I suspect he'll get a decent raise out of this contract. His 28 pts will certainly help his arbitration case, but his demotion to the 3rd pair and later benching will hurt his case. What's "fair"?

I'd imagine the whole thing gets taken care of before it can ever get to arbitration. I can't imagine how awkward that would wind up being with everyone on both sides being so new, both the GM and the player being on a new team. He has to feel wanted after a trade and they obviously want him as well. I imagine it gets worked through pretty quickly. Maybe he files, but he never actually gets to a hearing. As for an actual dollar amount, I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Didn't RJ pronounce his name Bowl-lee-you last year... I mean it won't be the first time he's had to say the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hat tip to Dave Davis for picking out these tidbits from Jack Todd (no idea who he is, fwiw): My second take was Bergevin did get a bona fide upfront scoring star in Drouin and one who fills a couple of other important criteria for this market: 1) he’s smart, a characteristic that becomes more and more important when you consider the failures of players like Beaulieu; 2) he seems to thrive in the limelight, and if you’re going to be a bilingual francophone star in this market, you had best love some microphones. .... Beaulieu should be a regular in Buffalo, but he is not going to be a regular in this league and his frequent brain cramps make him a liability in the eyes of coach Claude Julien, whose opinion matters. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/montreal-canadiens/stu-cowan-habs-newcomer-jonathan-drouin-relentless-midget-coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Interesting, considering Montreal's teams weakness, I'll see how Housley does with Baloo first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 These comments about Baloo remind me of Justin Schultz and Daley. Daley was a fit in Dal, a problem in Chi, and solid in Pitt. Schultz fell apart on Edm and is becoming a star in Pitt. This gives me great hope for Baloo. Jbot had a hand in bringing in Daley and Schultz to Pitt and his first move here is for a very similar player just after he hired a former offensive D as his head coach.

Jbot had a hand in bringing in Daley and Schultz to Pitt and his first move here is for a very similar player just after he hired a former offensive D as his head coach. I was thinking the same thing, with Schultz in particular. Any player that can skate and make a first pass can be fit like a glove into the right system, if the staff and team are competent and patient enough. Let's hope we finally have the group that can start to do things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a solid player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 What's the old cliche? Defensemen take awhile to mature? Never give up on a defender too soon? Never underestimate the power of Hous Side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Beaulieu was on The Instigators this morning and cleared up the pronunciation issue. It's "bowl you." The over/under on the number of times Rob Ray correctly pronounces this is 5. On the season. I think I'm taking the under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Beaulieu was on The Instigators this morning and cleared up the pronunciation issue. It's "bowl you." Did he say anything else of note or usual clichés? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Did he say anything else of note or usual clichés? I was in the car listening only for a couple of minutes. The next question was why was he in the Q when he is from Ontario, and it had to do with his dad moving around for work, so he played midget in St. John's or something like that. Then I was out.

His father coached in the OHL and the QMJHL. Coached Nathan one year of junior. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=38101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
