A defenseman with fast, strong skating. Moves the puck well and is very useful as a playmaker on powerplay. Has a strong shot and good vision. Uses his stick well defensively and can be physical, when needed. (eliteprospects.com)

Beaulieu brings a strong offensive game to the blue line and could down the road run the powerplay for the Canadiens.

Talent Analysis
As well as quarterback the play from the blue line, Beaulieu is a highly mobile defenseman, who carries the puck well and can make things happen on the rush. He is smart about limiting the amount of chances he takes. He is still developing physically. Beaulieu is equally adept shooting and distributing the puck.

Future
Beaulieu will play his third QJMHL season for the defending 2011 Memorial Cup Champions, the St John Sea Dogs where he will work on improving his defensive positioning and physical play in his own zone. The offensively talented blueliner projects into a top-three defenseman in the NHL within the next few years if his development continues on its present pace.
