I had written about Owen Beck after the first night of the showcase in Buffalo, but after watching him play in the second and third games I couldn’t bring myself to not continue writing about his play.
Watching Beck play is a treat in all three zones, even when he isn’t directly involved in the play. He is constantly scanning his surroundings, identifying everything in his immediate vicinity before choosing to make a move. As he backchecks you see him reading the driving forwards, and then sliding his stick into a lane, while taking away his target as a shooting option.
