BREAKING NEWS:New Jersey Devils trade once prized prospect for another with Minnesota Wild…

The New Jersey Devils kept the offseason trades going on Friday morning, sending top-five prospect Graeme Clarke to the Minnesota Wild for Adam Beckman. Clarke and Beckman are both AHL players who are 23 years old and consider their release as their best attribute. It seems like the Devils no longer believed in Clarke’s upside and wanted to go after someone who could possible impact the NHL with a bottom-six role.

Back in the 2021 preseason, Beckman seemed like he was poised to make an NHL impact sooner rather than later. However, he was never able to become the goal scorer it seemed like he would be. At the AHL level, he had 33 points last season and 36 the year prior with the Iowa Wild. He did score 24 goals two years ago, but he did not translate that to the NHL level. He has 23 NHL games to his name and zero NHL goals.
