Prospect Info: Owen Beck

[Paddy17]

He needs to start playing less shy and use his attributes more. He's trying to be too safe and responsible. His natural tendencies are already safe and responsible... he needs that agressiveness and intent in his game.

I will agree with that for sure but maybe Beck gets to Evan's level (what we see today) a few years earlier. Age 25 vs 28 for example?

We will see... Beck is going to start out from the bottom and work hard to move up. Like Suzuki did. Suzuki started 4th line RW in the NHL... didn't last long.



Would you say Beck is a Suzuki light type? Smart like Suzuki and a true type center but not as much offense? If not Suzuki, who would you compare him to?

There is a very large gap between Suzuki's puck skills/vision and Beck's puck skill/vision. Beck plays a simple north/south game without a whole lot of creativity whereas Suzuki is far more dynamic and creative. Beck is much closer to Evans than he is to Suzuki.

Next time Beck has a penalty shot on Alllen fake and deke he was looking for it and bit Beck had him

He had him beat if he put it either 6 inches lower or six inches higher.
