Quoting: AlakHul
Pretty sure habs would like to keep Beck, prob add Riley and another prospect or another pick. Beck would be the habs 3C eventually.
Ideally ,sure
Him and Kapananen are both essentially equal odds of making it.
Thats not factoring in Mysak , Kidney and Davidson all project there too.
Mesar and Farrell spent the last few years at Center or splitting the duties in Farrell's case.
They could easily combine with Slafkovsky to recreate basically what Farrell has in Farrell-Coronato-Lafarriere (top 3 NCAA line )
My point is losing an overachiever we didnt really plan for isnt the end of the world .
I mean i want him as Ambidextrous Centers at his skill level are like 2-3 a decade .
We're talking Yannic Perrault, Guy Carbonneau , Antoine Vermette , Ryan Oreilly and a maybe a few others that take faceoffs at over 50% with both hands.
But that said he's two year too early and our only option really is AHL if we want to develop him at Center atleast until TDL at the earliest
