Nice article in the London Free Press today, about Nathan Beaulieu, his pedigree and his determination to be an NHLer.

I think he got the attendance wrong for the Bell Centre. There hasn't been 18,000 ppl in the building since before the lock-out...

Beaulieu seems to have a really good head on his shoulders. Having a dad like that seems to really help as well.

Prospects only:

Beaulieu-Ellis
Tinordi-Subban
Nash-Webber
Bennett-Pateryn

and then the RHD depth
Didier
Dietz
Diaz
Sullivan
Stesjkal
Nygren

We will never suffer from a lack of RHD in the system again!

Seriously if we were a bottom feeder/didn't have a logjam on D, I'd consider letting him start the season in the NHL.

EDIT: Turns out he likes Jersey Shore/Snookie. -1 Big Beau.

EDIT2: Turns out he likes Entourage. +10 Big Beau.

I like the fact that He and Tinordi are already training together and good friend already!

RoyBoyCoy · 06-30-2011, 03:42 PM

Ellis five. Someone we draft next year six.

Richiebottles · 06-30-2011, 08:20 PM

Will he be at camp next week ?

I just love this player,he impresses me more each time I read or hear about him.Working out with Tinordi and obviously they get along well,both of them with great work ethics. The Habs will have the best young defence in hockey within five years.

Nothing noteworthy about that, tell me what 18 year-old male doesn't like Entourage? But seeing that he likes Rage Against the Machine? +100 Big Beau.

I don't care that him and Tinordi are friends, what I care more about is how he talked about Tinordi's work ethic. Friends don't get you to the NHL but hard work & commitment does if you got the skills to go with it.

I'm super impressed with Nathan's point of view on life as well, his dad did a really good job of raising him and preparing him for hockey and life imo. I wish his dad was my dad.

I knew it when I first seen him selected and they showed a clip or two of him, I was in love with him then and the more I see, the more I like. This kid is going to be a keeper.
