[the valiant effort]

I can’t keep track of these aggressive microtransactions

I would play them both, maybe an infusion of youth might help

D+2

Plekanec: 66 pts in 74 games
Beck: 27 pts in 41 games

Plekanec was a 70 pts in his prime, no shame in Beck not reaching that level.

Plek was 21 that season. The previous season was the comaparable season.

So I’m assuming they didn’t travel back

Plek was 21 that season. The previous season was the comaparable season.

If you are gonna use age then Beck is 21 right now as well. 4 months difference is hardly enough to be a big difference.

What ever they do Lane Hutson better be on the left side or I'm going to flip my lid.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

Yup, 100%.
Might as well have a look? Mailloux & Beck may provide some depth, Pezz is struggling this year and Struble doesn’t seem to be playing with the confidence he had last year. Heineman has been a nice surprise so Becks stay will be short unless there’s a move, cheers.

Check your stats at same age. At 20, Plekanec had 46 points in 77 AHL games. Beck at 20, has 27 points in 41 games. Beck is on little better ppg rate.

Who cares if he’s on a better ppg rate?!!

Pleky outperformed his draft ranking and developed his game on a steeper curve than most. A snapshot isn’t going to tell the story.

I like Beck. One of my favourite prospects. I watched him live several times, as I did with Pleky as a prospect. … so this isn’t a knock on Beck …

But Plekanec was a premier shutdown / PK center during his career. When he played with top talent he approached 70 points. He had the bulk of defensive responsibilities and PK time. As good a #2 as you could ask for.

I like Beck, but not in the same conversation as Pleky at this point.
