Prospect Info: Owen Beck

[badfish]

DBB gonna have a hard time in the NHL with those feet.

Thats what I thought too watching in jr, he's over a PPG in the AHL and has 8 pts in 13 games with CBJ this season. I haven't saw him play since jr.

 

[yianik]

First couple games I barely heard his name, last night was a much nicer showing where he hit the post and got his name called more

Which is exactly what should have happened in his first games. This guy is smart. He knows that he doesn't know the NHL. Smartest thing to do is come up and play as safely as possible. Dumbest thing to do is come in and try to impress by making some huge hit or dance through the other team which results in a bad turnover.

He kept it simple and garnered enough trust from MSL to get recalled. He's a bit more comfortable now and so he starts playing his game more. More to come.

Again, I see him as a solid 3C without question. But he could be a 2C. His name comes up in trade proposals, I don't want to see him moved because I think he has real upside and will be great in the dot.

I think management sees him as a possible top 6 in the NHL because he is used on PP1 in Laval. Just a guess but if you are developing for a 3rd line center role why would you be a key catalyst on PP1?

 

[Rapala]

Which is basically how every non-elite prospects look like in there first few nhl games...

Not to mention his first game was on a B2B2B.
I think we are 3-0 with Beck in the line-up Marty likes that kind of stat.

Because he is the best you have ? I didn't know that, interesting.

I don't think Joel Armia was a third liner in junior hockey.

 

[Habs]

So they aren't going to tell Vagkovský the same thing? Dude is prancing around like a 230lb Versace Purse. The just demand so little out of our first round pick

Beck may top out as a 3rd liner, what i said was that management thinks he might have top 6 upside.

I expected more from Slaf after almost 3 seasons

he gets a free pass, but they will cut the icetime and callout Jackeye, Laine etc. So he's going to suddenly turn it around when his 8.5 kicks in? lol

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

He's not tall but he clearly cares about his physique more than other players, has that Ryan Leonard style physicality where his hits hurt

 

[HuGo Sham]

It'll be interesting to see what HuGo does with this kid. If he ends staying with the Habs - despite being necessary to Laval's title aspirations, I would hazard to guess Dvorak and or Evans are gone this TDL

This may be his 3rd aeason but he is still only 20. The coaches expect growing pains from a big 20 year old. Not for a player in their mid twenties like Laine. With Xhekaj they were trying to get him to be less reckless.

No excuse for his bullshit effort and how soft he is on the puck especially in the defensive zone
