"All We're really saying here is that the chances of Beauvillier to score at a near-ppg, 4-goal clip for the Vancouver Canucks over the remaining year-and-a-quarter of his $4.15 million aav contract are slim. And that's okay. Really. The Canucks need that from him. They're not going to be competitive in the same time frame. Even when it comes to playing with Elias Pettersson, The Canucks already have a couple linemates locked in with Andrei Kuzmenko and Ilya Mikheyev. To say nothing of Vasily Podkolzin. Right now and for the remainder of his term. Beauvillier is a luxury in Vancouver. But not a necessity."
