I believe the Islanders traded Beck last year at the deadline

 

[Bad News Benning]

Trades are coming fast and heavy now!

 

[joestevens29]

Not sure what to think here. Beck has been elite in the AHL. Fontaine hasn't been horrid, but just not nearly as good as Beck point wise.

So is the thought Fontaine can play in the NHL for us?

 

[Gardner McKay]

I know nothing about Beck. Forward/D?

 

[Maukkis]

Since when has Fontaine been with the Rangers?

 

[uncleben]

Poor Beck just cannot stick anywhere.

To the Avs for Marc-Andre Cliche, you are correct. And this is the 4th time he's been traded since 2015.

 

[Seachd]

630 CHED in Edmonton said they're looking into this, although they can't confirm it.

Can't really argue with Friedman though.

He's a winger, decent AHL numbers but hasn't stuck beyond a handful of games in the NHL. Isles trade him last deadline for the illustrious Marc-Andre Cliche.

EDIT: forgot he played most of 2014-15 in Nashville. 62 GP, 8-8-16.

Forward. Elite AHLer.

About time we are doing something for our AHL squad.

Let's see he played a couple years for Nashville, then Toronto traded for him in the off season who then traded him to the Islanders before the season started, who then traded him to Colorado I believe at the deadline last year. Edmonton signed him this summer(or was he traded there?) and now traded him to the Rangers.

Winger with size. Had a few games with us but nothing special.

However he is offensively gifted as he is putting up 50pts in 40gp in the AHL.

Is 25 too, so he is young

 

[Bad News Benning]

Poor Beck just cannot stick anywhere.

He's like the 40th man on a MLB teams 40 man roster that just bounces around the league.

Signed there at the start of the season.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Why does Beck keep getting moved?

 

[Gardner McKay]

Forward. Elite AHLer.

About time we are doing something for our AHL squad.

Yep. That is fantastic.

 

[BonMorrison]

WOAT trade deadline.

I say this every year.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Is he skilled enough to be a callup? Looks like Fast is out for 3 weeks and Grabner got injured in practice today.

 

[FoxyClean]

Any relation to Barry Beck?

 

[McDNicks17]

Well, there goes Bakersfield's season.

 

[Soundgarden]

Man, I liked Beck here in Nashville, shame he can't stick. What's this, his like 5th team in two years?

 

[plikestechno]

This is the kind of trade you make when youre the Oilers and want some wing depth but you have no money because of bonuses and you gave it all to Fayne and Pouliot.

You roll the dice on Fontaine and Desharnais and hope they can do something for your bottom 6.

 

[Ola]

Shoot the puck Taylor!!

The garden would love him lol.

 

[Trxjw]

Why does Beck keep getting moved?

Because he's a fantastic AHLer but isn't really fast enough for the NHL.
