I'm thinking they moved Beaulieu to avoid Vegas picking him instead of Pleky or Emelin. Now that he's gone, they can use an extra incentive to convince Vegas to pick one of the 2 since there is a dropoff in talent when comparing Hudon vs one of Plekanec/Emelin.
I guess we will find out soon enough but as I said in another thread, I'm sure this move was to force Vegas to pick the player of Bergevin's choice so that a few other key moves can happen since it will free up $4-6 mil. in cap space.
