The Caps would be sad to part with Beaulliver since he can do it all. A former first round pick in 2015 draft, Beauvillier, 28, is fast, elusive, can play both wings anywhere up and down the lineup. He is good on the penalty kill and is good defensively. Beauvillier does what is asked of him by the coaches, which makes him a favorite of the staff. He would be someone other teams will consider.
