Confirmed with Link: Owen Beck Signed to 3-Year ELC

[FormerLurker]

Expected after a fantastic camp. Now send him back to Mississauga.

I hope he's back in Mississauga and ready to play for the Steelheads by Friday, as I have tickets to the game!

Congrats on the contract Owen!

Well deserved...hitting on first round picks is crucial

But hitting on 2nd round picks like Beck is just as integral in building a competitive winner.

He shouldn't be too far away from the NHL.

smart player, a future top end number 3 centre for us.

great pick ,love his ability to see the ice at such a young age.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I like his game. Well done!

 

[Canadiens98]

I don't mean to put pressure on these players, but our future down the middle of the ice is looking very nice. Suzuki, Dach, and Beck.

 

[jj cale]

He sure earned it. Now look forward to watching his progression and him suiting up at the World juniors for Canada, he will be an important piece on that team trying to defend gold.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

So he did get his pat in the back in the end. That's fine, it's not how stuff used to be done but giving an early ELC is the way to go now. Let's hope this lights a fire under him and he has a kick ass season with mississauga. It could very well be his last.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Love it! Very well deserved.

If we take one of the many great centers next draft we'll be absolutely stacked at center, especially if Monahan bounces back which is possible.

Suzuki
Fantilli/Dvorsky
Dach
Monahan
Beck
Evans

Sounds to me like we can trade one of our centre prospects + to get the potential elite #1 D we need

 

[That Habs Fan]

You forgot Dvorak, but I can possibly see both Dvorak and Monahan being moved if they have decent years

I know I was forgetting someone...just emphasizes my point! hah

We could always move one of these guys to the wing as well, which isn't the worst thing for faceoffs/injury coverage.

 

[Tuggy]

Looks like he'll be a good one.

Not too far off from being an NHLer. Maybe as soon as next season, but more likely the season after.

 

[Deebs]

Next year?

Suzy
Dach
Beck
Evans

Waiting for:

[Justin11]

Well deserved!

Beck seems to have a bright future with the Habs.

 

[salbutera]

No brainer - I’ll stick with my prediction right after he was picked at draft… in 10-years he’ll be viewed amongst the best of the 2022 cuvée

 

[Habs Halifax]

i see him in Montreal next season has our #3

Hope not. If it happens, he forces his way. Rather him play out his age 18 and 19 season in the CHL like Suzuki.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Kid deserves it. He was great in the games I watched. Hopefully whatever signing bonus he got motivates him to continue working hard and improving.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Watch Beck end up being the player we needed to get out of the tank over Slafkovsky. Lol

 

[NobleSix]

As far as being an NHL player, it's only a matter of when for Beck. He'll compete for a roster spot next year I'd put money on that.

Loved the pick and the time and he's been nothing but impressive since.

 

[Theosis]

He's definitely one of the players this preseason that has stood out, well deserved for him. At least he'll have a good amount of spending money from his signing bonuses

 

[sampollock]

perfect

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Hope not. If it happens, he forces his way. Rather him play out his age 18 and 19 season in the CHL like Suzuki.

hes already playing a pro game i would be very surprised to see him back in the O next year im expecting a big year from him this year and an invite from Team Canada this winter

One step at a time. I am aware of how he looks today

 

[HomaridII]

Amazing news and very much deserved. Great pick.

can i not project where i think a prospect will be in 1 year?

 

[lillypad33]

Hopefully he can work on his ceiling.... because his floor is almost NHL ready.
I just can't see how he cannot become a 3rd line player at minimum at this point.
I'm excited for him to be one of the leaders on the u20's this year.
