Three more years of Beagle isn't looking very encouraging.

This article is a very negative portrayal but none the less, has accuracies that are notable.
Most did not like the term of the contract but thought the price was palatable.
Not now!
Between Eriksson and Beagle, that is nine million on the cap for three more years and they are both 33, now.
With the exception of Horvat,the cupboards were left rather bare by the previous regime and two of the present regime's ist rounders,
Jake-(still uncertain), and Juolevi-(not played an NHL game yet),
We do finally have some depth now though. First time in many years and hopefully, we can polish the finished roster up a bit by October.
Of particular note; We will have a vastly improved minor league affiliate, now and in the foreseeable future.
Maybe Beagle will find a valuable way to contribute, if not always on the ice,
Eriksson will have to experience a major alteration in the way he sees himself, ie; I'm not a star, I'm a 4th line digger and I'm gonna be the best
damned one I can be.
Doubt that. I envisage a new address in the eastern time zone, likely.
Just isn't worth playing him in grade A slots just to shop him, not now; we have making the playoffs our priority.
Damn, we need playoff hockey back.
