I just want us to re-create Winnipeg's 4th line in 2018.

I think he'll be among the first call ups, but the Habs are taking advantage of letting him cook in the AHL while they clear a spot in the bottom6 for him. Whether its injury or trade, I can see Tuch playing games in MTL this year.

I don't expect high production from him, but he's got just enough skill that he could be that 15-20G guy like Weise was in his best years, while being much more physical than Dutch Gretzky.

The struble comparison people are making is solid. College kids come physically mature and ready to be real Pros. Tuch was a good pick IMO

Prime Weise would be great. If he gives us 4-5 years of 10-15 goals while being physical that'd be ideal.

Beck has a much higher skill level than any of those Jets. He'll be more than a 4th line center. And if he's only our 4th line center, the dark days of this franchise are over.

I rarely disagree with you but there is no way you can say that Owen Beck will ever become as good and effective as Adam Lowry who would be on any team I would put together.

They are different type of players. It's a mistake to pigeon hole Beck as a 4th line player. He's more Stankoven than Lowery. Different type of players.

I hope you are right Admiral but I don't see Beck having the same offensive impact as Logan Stankhoven, that's a pipe dream in my estimation. I don't see much more than maybe a 3rd line center, possibly 4th line. We shall see. I hope your analysis is more accurate than mine.

IMO Beck is more in the Ryan O’Reilly mold of player - excellent hockey brain allows execution of minutiae coaches drool over

All of those Jets guys had top 6 skills, but they played a bottom 6 game. That's why they were such a dominant 4th line. They spent most of the time in the opponent's end cycling the puck and creating chances.

If Beck ends up being an Andrew Copp on our 4th line, we are in business. It means we have great depth in our fwd group.

Beck will be our fourth line center. And thats not a bad thing. He wont be top 6 and even top 9. Newhook, Hage, Kapanen all has higher upside offensively at center. He’s out next Evans but hopefully a lot less vanilla version of him.
