Another solid transaction for Botterill. Could turn out to be a steal.

Sabres didn't overpay, it's straight and fair deal.


Forget where Beaulieu was drafted (2011 17th overall). This is a couple years where he can prove himself, or get binned as a bottom pairing / minimum salary guy that bounces around the league. At age 24, Beaulieu should be clearly establishing himself as a D.

Own the Puck breakdown

I'd err on the pessimistic side of things that Beaulieu isn't on track to play a lot of important minutes for the Sabres, and filling that hole represents more work.

A lot of $$ for a #5 that can responsibly play 12-14 mins with some secondary PP ability.
