The Rockies needed the total package on the point when they got the #2 pick in '77, and they got it when they drafted Beck. He
was sound in his own end of the ice, not afraid to get physical in his own zone, and he was a bona fide quarterback offensively
with a huge shot.
Really, his type is someone the current Devils could use.
It was his offense that got him noticed leaguewide, as his 60 points in his rookie year earned him a trip to the All-Star game, as
well as Calder trophy consideration (finished second to Mike Bossy). Also, at the time, those 60 points was a record for rookie
defensemen in the LEAGUE, nevermind the franchise record.
He would be traded to the Rangers before 1980 rolls in and play a key role on that team, including serving as their captain, but
injuries would slow him, to the point where he didn't play an NHL game for over 3 seasons until he was traded to the Los
Angeles Kings, where he would retire.
