Am I not a Devils fan or is it totally normal to have no fucking idea who Graeme Clark is.

Management obviously didn’t rate Clarke that much, he’s had decent stats in the A but never really got a chance with the big club. No idea who Beckman is tbh.

Graeme truthers passing out as we speak

Was literally just on CapFriendly looking over shit and they already updated. Fuck the Caps
Also Beckman apparently played in a league called « SMAAAHL » which is hilarious

Thank goodness I’m not alone bc I felt bad about not knowing who our own player was lol.

Beckman lost his stick in that photo I guess

Seems like an even swap for 2 young players who had trouble breaking through the lineup with their clubs.
Probably the first call-up for a center from the AHL which I would much rather have than Chris Tierney
OgreUAsshole
Sure why not

Also worth noting, Clarke is from Minny. Could just be to help him out since he won’t be able to / hasn’t cracked our roster. Sucks though I remember regarding him highly

Clarke was born in Minnesota so hope he gets a chance to play for the wild.

Fitz has been really good at trading good young AHL players who can’t seem to take the next step and succeed in the NHL for…scraps. Walsh, Clarke, Markley.
Watch out Nolan Foote, you may be dumped for a bag of pucks soon.

We got our guy. Had to look him up and was surprised to see he played 11 games for the wild this year. I’ve never heard of him. Cool to see he has the same birthday as me, just ten years younger.

Trading the 80th pick in the 2019 Draft for the 75th pick in that draft. Fitz fleeces yet again!

I know I am getting old but could the player names be any smaller in that announcement? I can read the word Details from a mile away but had to work to see the names. It wasn’t difficult just annoyingly small compared to all the other fonts they used.

Only 5 spots away in the same draft. Trading our Right Shot RW for a Left Shot LW. Apparently Beckman has a good shot, but so did Clarke. A balanced trade and a new chance for each.

Personally I always grouped Clarke in the same area as Nolan Foote and Brian Halonen. The only way they would crack the Devils would be as 4th liners, and I guess the organization just doesn’t see Clarke as someone who fits into that role as well as the other two.

Not a big fan but perhaps Beckman offers better upside on the defensive side of the game. Definitely need to see the scouting report on him.

🤷🏻 Neither guy realistically has an NHL future

Im guessing management sees this as a change of scenery trade but I dont really think we’re going to be winners of this one.
