Beck is committed to improving and he clearly has that focus. It's very important in development. Lots of kids say they will work hard but it's cheap talk. Beck is the type to shut his mouth and just go work.
Each year brings different challenges and Beck is ready for his pro career. Very excited to see what he can do in Laval this year. Will be tough to make the NHL but you never know
Motivation/hardwork/desire is a super underrated trait.
It's what separates Crosby/MacKinnon from the rest.
It's what made Plekanec go from 3rd liner to first line center.
It's what made Paul Byron from waiver material to fan favorite.
It's what makes Slafkovsky the special prospect he is today. The guy has skills, vision and a big body. Adding unlimited desire to this makes it incredibly exciting.
It's also why I wanted Catton with a second top 15 pick this year. He has skills and vision and from what we've heard he is incredibly dedicated. His small frame is the only thing that might stop him).
