Taylor Beck still not signed - update: signed 1 year @ 550K

[jntarheels]

No, it just means he gets paid the same in the AHL or NHL, but at league minimum that's not a huge thing to eat. We've done it before.

I just read the Predatorial's article about this very thing. Although on Capgeek.com it does not seem like he is waiver exempt. So iono.

What I mean is I feel like they wouldn't do this unless they think he's going to make the team. I could be wrong, but I've had a feeling that Lavy likes Beck.

Signed 1 year, 1-way $550k.

Press Release

I don't get it. You have to think he's gonna be a frequent scratch or maybe alternate with Nystrom or Bourque. Sucks because this could mean Forsberg is odd man out when everyone gets healthy. That or Poile isn't too worried about losing him on waivers or paying him 550K if he sends him down.

Well, the price is right. Doesn't seem to make any sense though.

 

[The Rainman]

Remember that this guy just turned 23 in May. He has a lot going for him!

 

[kypredsfan]

I thought he should've made the team last year. This 1 year gets him until all of these other 1 year deals expire. Hopefully he impresses.

Updated thread title.

Also could make him easier to trade being he is under contract. Who knows what happens, but I just get a feeling someone is getting traded or moved in some way. Just seems like there is way too many forwards.

 

[Persona5]

A one way contract is odd. He has done little to nothing to earn that. Has to be more to this.

Keep in mind that one-way only means that he gets paid the 550k regardless of where he plays. It doesn't mean that he can't be sent down. I still don't think he starts the season up with the big club. He is, however, probably the first call-up.

Until stalberg comes off IR there is no reason to send him down and expose him to waivers since he will make the same money. I'm thinking he starts here, with a imperative to prove he belongs here

Forgot about Stalberg (blame me?)...good call.
