Beck told the story of his trade to the Rangers: “One time, in Colorado, (coach) Don Cherry’s dog Blue came waddling into our locker room. He came in and, you know how those dogs do it, he rubbed his butt on the floor – right in front of my locker, in the area I used to do push-ups. So I gave Blue a little whack with my stick and he ran yelping down the hall back to Don’s office. Then Don came in and asked who did it? We kind of looked around, said we didn’t know. The next day I got traded to New York.” The Rangers acquired Beck on November 2, 1979, in exchange for Pat Hickey, Lucien DeBlois, Mike McEwen, Dean Turner and future considerations.
He was famous for his relationships with other women throughout his career.

Beck’s injury riddled 1985-86 season would prove to be his last in New York. At the end of the season, nursing a bum shoulder and frustrated with Ranger coach Ted Sator, Beck walked away from the club citing “philosophical differences” with Sator, who had also clashed with Rangers Mark Pavelich, Reijo Ruotsalainen, Pierre Larouche and Walt Poddubny. “There are philosophical differences between Coach Ted Sator and myself,’ Beck said in a statement issued through his agent. ‘This does not necessarily mean I’m retiring, but at present I don’t want to play hockey in the upcoming season.” When Rangers General Manager Phil Esposito fired Sator on November 21, 1986, he invited Beck to return to the club but he declined. “Phil’s announcement today does nothing to change my decision to sit out this season. However, as I have said before, I continue to leave the door open for a possible return to the team.” The following season, after spending a year and a half away from the game letting his injured shoulder heal, Beck returned to the Rangers for the 1987-88 campaign. During training camp, in a pre-season game against the Winnipeg Jets, Beck took a hit in the corner and “felt it pop right away. I heard noise.” At the hospital, his fears were confirmed, as he had suffered damage to the tissue and ligaments around his shoulder. “The strength of my game is strength,” Beck said while announcing his retirement from the game at age 30. “This latest injury would have taken that away from me. And that’s the only way I know how to play.”

In August 1989, after three years on the sidelines and with his shoulder fully recovered, the 32-year old Beck announced he wanted to return to the National Hockey League. However, his return would not happen in New York as Beck indicated he wanted to be closer to his home in Vancouver. On September 1, 1989, the Los Angeles Kings sent a fourth round draft pick to the Rangers to secure his rights and he joined the Wayne Gretzky-led Kings for the 1989-90 season. Beck struggled with the Kings and eventually found himself being used sparingly. Kings General Manager Rogie Vachon, who had acquired Beck and inked him to a one-year deal, felt he lacked the foot speed to play in the up tempo Smythe Division. “He has been frustrated going in and out of the lineup,” Vachon said. “Because he may not have had the speed, he compensated by playing conservatively.” Beck took issue with this assessment saying “They told me I couldn’t handle it. If that’s what they’re thinking, maybe they’ve got to go with it. I didn’t think I was all that bad.” On March 7, with the season winding down, Beck once again announced his retirement.
In the 2009 book 100 Ranger Greats, the authors ranked Beck at No. 62 all-time of the 901 New York Rangers who had played during the team’s first 82 seasons.

After toiling in relative anonymity in Colorado, Beck was excited to join one of the NHL’s oldest franchises. “When I got to New York, I thought: ‘This is what hockey is all about. Playing in a historic arena like Madison Square Garden in a city like New York City.’ You have to be consistently good every night as a player, instead of every other night. The highlight memory was putting on a Rangers jersey and skating out on the Garden ice for the first time.” Beck scored a goal against the Los Angeles Kings in his first game at Madison Square Garden and went on to have an impressive first season on Broadway putting up 59 points in 61 games. In 1980, his second year with the Rangers, Beck was named captain of the club but the 75 games he played that season would prove to be the high water mark for his time with the Rangers. During the 1981-82 season, Beck separated his shoulder which would prove to be a recurring issue. He had more injury woes the following year and required surgery in 1984. The 1985-86 season saw him limited to just 25 games. When he did play, Beck never approached the lofty offensive totals he managed in Colorado or in his first season with the Rangers, something that was not lost on broadcaster Bill Chadwick who infamously urged him to shoot the puck more often. The phrase, “Shoot the puck, Barry” is still known by many Rangers fans to this day.
