I've liked his game. Frankly, the way Lauridsen, Stollery, and Beaupre have been playing makes me wonder how they've lost so many games of late. Those three have been really good in the games I've seen. Lack of puck possession, maybe? I don't know.
Beaupre's got a ways to go to reach his ceiling. He's a good, not great, skater, but he's a very smart player. Good, but not great, first pass out of the zone. I see room for improvement there, especially on the boards. He'll have to bulk up this offseason and add some strength. A lot of weight training and some plyometrics work to improve his lateral agility. But, he's a heady player, which is something you can't teach.
