When general manager Jim Benning signed then unrestricted free agent forwards Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel and Tim Schaller on July 1st, 2018, the Vancouver Canucks’ vocal minority on Twitter erupted with calls for his head-on-a-platter.

Jay Beagle is one of those special players.
Jay beagle would be a good signing if the Canucks didn’t already have five Jay Beagles on the roster.
