Shadow Assassin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Saw this on TSN.ca earlier and didn't see it posted Toronto acquires: Taylor Beck SCOUTING REPORT Assets: Has excellent offensive makeup, as well as very good size. Can play on either side of center, which adds to his overall value. Flaws: Needs plenty of work without the puck and in defensive situations. Also needs to make more of his 6-2, 203-pound frame. Career Potential: Talented winger with some upside.http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?7420 Career Statistics YEAR TEAM LEAGUE GP G A PTS +/- PIM PPG SHG GWG TOI S PTSPG 2014-15 Nashville NHL 62 8 8 16 -4 18 2 0 3 11:55 78 0.26 2013-14 Nashville NHL 7 0 0 0 -2 6 0 0 0 12:50 9 0.00 Milwaukee AHL 65 17 32 49 -8 38 7 1 2 - 181 0.75 2012-13 Nashville NHL 16 3 4 7 0 2 1 0 0 16:05 39 0.44 Milwaukee AHL 50 11 30 41 8 28 3 0 2 - 126 0.82 2011-12 Milwaukee AHL 74 16 24 40 -2 32 4 0 2 - 145 0.54 2010-11 Milwaukee AHL 4 0 1 1 -2 0 0 0 - - 6 0.25 Guelph OHL 62 42 53 95 3 60 16 1 - - - 1.53 2009-10 Guelph OHL 61 39 54 93 19 54 16 1 - - - 1.52 2008-09 Guelph OHL 67 22 36 58 3 36 4 0 - - - 0.87 2007-08 Guelph OHL 56 7 14 21 2 43 2 0 - - - 0.38 NHL TOTAL NHL 85 11 12 23 -6 26 3 0 3 - 126 0.27 AHL TOTAL AHL 193 44 87 131 -4 98 14 1 - - 458 0.68 OHL TOTAL OHL 246 110 157 267 27 193 38 2 - - - 1.09 Nashville acquires: Jamie Devane SCOUTING REPORT Assets: Is a big, tough hombre. Can be a real force in the hitting department, as well as an enforcer willing to drop the gloves to protect teammates and police things on the ice. Flaws: Must continue to improve his skating and overall game, as he isn't capable of playing effectively for more than a few shifts at the National Hockey League level.

Beck produced eight goals and 16 points in 62 games with Nashville last season his first full year in the NHL after spending time with the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals. The 24-year-old native of St. Catharines, Ont. was selected by the Predators 70th overall in the 2009 NHL Draft after spending his four-year junior career with the Guelph Storm alongside current Leaf centre Peter Holland. Devane has spent the majority of his professional career with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, posting six goals, 15 points and 253 penalty minutes in 118 games. The 24-year-old Mississauga, Ont. native also appeared in his first two NHL contests with Toronto during the 2013-14 season. Devane, originally selected two spots ahead of Beck in the 2009 NHL Draft, missed the 2015 AHL playoffs after having season-ending surgery to repair a lower-body injury.

Intoewsables Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Weird trade. Beck's a better player at the NHL level than Devane is in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Don't worry Canucks faithful. Benning has a plan. Here it is: Play the next season with the present roster, the inclusion of six rookies making the Canucks a harder team to play against. At the trade deadline, the Canucks package up Jannik Hansen, Chris Higgins, and Yannick Weber to Buffalo for Evander Kane. At the start of free agency, Benning signs Milan Lucic to a 5 year, $30 M contract. Then Benning packages Radim Vrbata, Alexander Grenier, Luca Sbisa, and Frank Corrado and a 2017 2nd rounder to Nashville for Shea Weber. Line up for 2016-2017 Lucic - Horvat - Kane Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen Burrows - Bonino - Boeser Prust - Gaunce - Dorsett Edler - Weber Hamhuis - Tanev Pedan - Clendening Hutton Markstrom Demko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Phooey Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hate to say it, but nice trade for the Leafs. Beck would look good in a Canucks jersey. It's too bad that Jim Benning let Sestito go. Maybe Poile would have taken the boxing hobo straight up for Beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This trade looks bad on paper for Nashville: Devane is an AHL enforcer and Taylor Beck can play on the 3rd or the 4th. BUT it makes so much sense for Nashville. It is unlikely that Beck would have made the team this October. They have just too many young prospects pushing for spots and GM Poile is committed to allow them to make the team. As it stands they still have more forwards than spots available. He is just not part of their future plans and keeping a player for depth just blocks giving an opportunity to a prospect. Also Beck has filed for arbitration and it is likely that he will get a one-way deal that the team will not be able to turn down. Reminder that any arbitration award under 3.5M has to be accepted by the team - there is no walk away in that situation. It's also the decent thing to do for Beck's sake - it allows him to start early with a new team instead of getting picked up off waivers come October or worse be buried in the AHL. It's also not ideal for Nashville if no one picks him up and they end up paying him an NHL salary in the AHL. They likely offered him around the league for a low pick and there were no takers. So they just took whatever offer was available and Devane was redundant in Toronto as they got Clune (after he got bought out by Nashville). With Clune gone and Liambas signed in Chicago, Nashville was anyway probably going to sign an enforcer to protect their young prospects in Milwaukee - seems it's still a needed security in the AHL. This trade just shows how difficult it is to get value but that sometimes you have to sell low for the sake of simply moving the team forward while being fair to the player and Nashville is looking at the bigger picture - it's not about the poor return on a trade but about freeing a roster spot for a prospect that has more upside and not hindering Beck's career.

Gollumpus Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Joking around aside, the Canucks could really have used this guy on the left side so one of the team's prospects could get some AHL development time... regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This partly explains Zack Kassian's low value. Taylor Beck had 16 points (although he played more games), the same as Zack Kassian. And all they got for him was a career AHL'er. Face it folks. Teams seem to be happy with their draft picks and prospects it would seem. Even Franson hasn't been signed.
