Prospect Info: Owen Beck

They're not trading Beck for Cozens.

Plus the reports around Montreal are basically they got in the discussion but there isn't really a fit for what the Sabres want, which is a mix of young roster players and futures and it seems Detroit is really leading the charge.

Hasn't Hughes really run a tight ship thus far and thus we wouldn't actually know?

I think we can make a reasonable guess that he's not trading Owen Beck for an underperforming 7.1m cap hit.

I've learned a lot with guys like Beck over the years. They almost never reach that high end potential and it takes them a long time if they do. You can apply that to both Danault and Evans. Lehkonen is another. These are names we are picking that reach or come close to reaching their ceiling level. But then you can look at guys like Poehling. It's too easy today to say Beck is "way better" than Poehling pre NHL. Both were B+ guys with decent potential pre NHL.

I see what you see in Beck but if you that kind of hope in Beck, you should also have it with Cozens. Pumping Beck and deflating Cozens is evident here.

I just like Beck , for reasons given, but am no talent evaluator. I think Dach and Cozens are kind of similar. I pointed out Cozens' best year was a bit boosted by an above average shooting % and that's just a fact.

I'm just not interested in moving Beck for Cozens. Could I be wrong ? Yup, for sure. I mean who the heck am I ? I'm not going to die on that hill. Just my 2 cents.

They won’t. If people are loving the season Evans is having, just wait until that’s a normal season for Beck as opposed to the outlier that it is for Jake.

It's all good. None of us know the future with all 3... Dach, Cozens, and Beck. All we can do is take our best guess at what we see today. At the end of the day, these are secondary core parts.
