Beauvillier.. playing Top 6 and top PP on the Island and top62nd PP In van has put up .7 goals per 60
Compared to Colton playing 3/4liners 2nd pp has put up 1.14 goals per 60. Rathbone isn't worth a 3&7 pass.
Edit: Besides that Colton has proven to be a very dependable playoff performer

Unless I'm mistaken, they need to be cap compliant to start the season with Pearson's and Poolman's contracts counting against the cap; they can't put them on LTIR until after the season starts.

Now they could start both in the minors, but they would still need to carry 3.5 million for those two against the cap...

Still thinking they can't avoid that OEL buyout...

Flyers decline.

They can’t be placed on LTIR until after training camp but you can spend 10% over the cap until the first day of the season. Half the teams in the league would be screwed if it wasn’t this way
