So yes the Canadiens made a good pick, took Beaulieu 17th when he was projected top ten. He's big (6'3") has wheels and offence and should be a great match with PK (though not necessarily on the same pairing) for many years to come. When he makes the bigs.
Still, talk of giving up on yet another promising offensive big French Canadian kid troubles me. Pouliot beat Redden, wailed on Krejci (knocking him out), is a fine skater and has one of the best releases and quickest wrist shots on the team. (If only he would shoot more.) Yes he folds under pressure but who is putting pressure on him, why and how much? The benchings are chippy and show poor judgement. Again.
You can teach defensive play (Carbonneau) but you can't teach offence. It's a gift from God. Pouliot has got it.
Looks like Goat is going to piss another one away though.
And speaking of bad decisions or no decisions, who's going to break Chara's nose? Really bloody it? Ruin his sweater? Whip his ass in front of the hockey world for what he did to Pacioretty? We need one guy 6'4 or 6'5" and 240# who can kick his ass. Regularly. Punk him out. Humiliate him. Scare him. Turn the bully into the cowardly little girl he really is.
Smooch.
