I agree Phillips is an NHLer. Just disagree this kid we just took is a Phillips.
Whatever Beck is, it's pretty clear you're underselling him for some reason.
Again, his age 15 season tracks right in line with Mangiapane.
His age 16 season can't be compared with Mangiapane because Beck was already drafted into the OHL as a second round pick while Mangiapane was not yet playing Major Junior. Regardless, you're fixating on his stats as a "rookie" without the context that he was sixteen.
His age 17 season? You're penalizing him for the fact that
his entire league didn't play hockey.
I'm not sure what he is, but it's pretty obvious that he's a talented kid. You have to be pretty precocious to be playing in the OHL as a 16 year old, and he obviously did things right to have caught the attention of the scouts so early. To say he has "no upside" is just a silly statement.
