I could easily see Beauvillier turning a corner on a new team. He's got tons of skill and speed, but he just hasn't put it all together- perhaps a new situation will benefit him.

I agree with the point made that Horvat gives the Isles another older player, and while he's having a huge year, he's really more of a 60-point guy. That's not a bad thing, but he's only getting older. I think the 'nucks did well here to pick up Raty-a guy who I believe will outproduce what Horvat has done, and a first in a very strong draft.
