I agree.Great.
That's kinda of irrelevant to the point.
Elite skill players/offense drivers typically rely more on cognitive & dexterity abilities than on size/strength aspects of physical ability... If Beck doesn't gain another pound and becomes an NHL regular playing in a role more focused on creating offense without relying on physical attributes, who cares.
My point is I dislike the facile depiction of Beck as being ‘merely’ a two way center who needs his defensive prowess to be an impactful NHL player.
As for size, Beck is about the same size as the Blues’ Robert Thomas but is a more dynamic skater and has a better shot than Thomas.
I think Beck will make his mark in the NHL more based on his offensive skills than his supposed all round game.
