Quoting: Black61
"They have been rumored to want him for a while" . There has been no rumours about habs management wanting him. He doesnt remotely fit the MO of the habs current management.

This is all the AGMs from the first 10 pages of each teams lists. Its easily way more Islanders fans trying to dump him than habs fans wanting him
First one is satire, 2nd and 3rd are from a guy who just trolls and the last one is a hockey trade FROM A HABS FAN LMAO. I am not arguing with you what I have seen lmfao. Habs fans for years have had a handful of guys that they create AGMs about. Most recently Beau and now Laf.
You are getting way too upset, too. "They have been rumored to want him for a while" when did I say this? I said people on AGM, aka cap friendly lol.
I get you are a fan, but you do not know exactly what management wants. A speedy winger could help open up the ice, or there could be no need for it because they are making a big signing or trade. But, nobody really knows. But from someone who does not really follow the Habs, a top 9 of
Cole-Suzuki-Dach
Beau-Free Agent playmaker who plays two ways well-Gallagher
Slaf-Dvorak/FA-Anderson
is a pretty solid top 9. It all depends on what management does with the veteran players (like Hoffman and Armia, etc) but there is definitely a use for Beau. Even on the 3rd line, getting a younger, speedy winger with upside who is on line with Slaf's deal could help quite a bit, basically being able to slot up and down with Slaf's growth.
So again, I am not an assistant to Kent Hughes or whatever, but there is a clear use for Beau. Me sighting the fact that I have seen many Habs AGMs on here over the years of Habs fans going after Beau certainly is enough for me to do this
