Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: April 10, 2022
The Boston Bruins dipped into the NCAA free agent well once again on Saturday when the team announced they had signed Georgi Merkulov to a three-year entry level contract beginning with the 2022-20…

I think you have it confused with Training Camp. Development Camp, the tournament of which we both attended in Buffalo a few years back, is held shortly after the Draft. NCAA players cannot attend training camp as it interferes with College programs.Agreed unfortunately the NCAA prospects normally don't attend.

I'm bummed, I wanted to see what he could do in the AHL to end this season. The truth is, though, his defensive game needs a lot of work and another year in a big 10 weight room will probably serve him really well long term. Alas, we wait.
Well people way smarter than me have said that is what the bruins seemed to want. Personally I like to get guys signed and working with pro coaches ASAP. But the guys running player development know a lot more than me

Ds take longer to develop
Lohrei body/conditioning likely needs work
We all know he has skilled hands/offensive instincts
The sky is the limit for Mason

The Athletic on Beecher:
theathletic.com
Wheeler: Trips to Frozen Four, CHL Top Prospects Game, Ottawa and Gatineau
Scott Wheeler's notes and quotes following three trips and viewings of more than 100 drafted, draft-eligible or top free-agent prospects.
C John Beecher (Boston Bruins): The Wolverines, as the top seed, had the Bruins’ room this week and apparently the guys were telling Beecher he should pick his stall and stick around, which I thought was great. It was an up-and-down season for Beecher, who is probably the one player whose opportunities suffered the most by playing on this deep Michigan squad, because he’s such a natural fit to slide down the lineup into a checking role. So it was nice to see him repeatedly get his flowers throughout the week.
Here was Pearson on Beecher: “He has been a real key for us here as of late. Unfortunately, Johnny had injury problems last year with the shoulder injury and then this year he breaks his thumb and was out quite awhile again. So we really didn’t get him until the second half of the year and that’s when we made our push. And a lot of the reason is Johnny has anchored a line and has used his skating. The numbers maybe aren’t as high as you’d like them to be but he’s not playing on one of our power-play units and guys get a lot of points on the power play. So I wouldn’t be overly concerned with the stats. It’s just what he brings to our team and what he brings is speed, physicality, he’s got good size, he’s great on faceoffs, and he has taken a defensive role on the penalty kill and has done a great job there.
“But he has really given us another line that is dangerous and has added to our depth. His development has been good. He has continued to grow not only as a player on the ice but off the ice and he has matured. Maybe last year where I might have (had) to calm him down on the bench a little bit, the other day he was calming our coaches down on the bench. So it has been a reversal and he has really grown. And he’s still young. He’s got a lot of good hockey in front of him.
Johnny has had a really good year for us. He was injured (during) the first part. He’s really come on. He really adds a lot to our team, has really accepted his role and thrived on it. He’s a good player (who) has a bright future.”

Sounds like a solid college depth player. It does not sound like a kid that will be an nhl regular. Those have usually forced their way on to power play duty by this point lolThe Athletic on Beecher:

He's literally the 3rd line center on a team that features two centers who were Top 5 draft picks.
Do I think Beecher is a future NHL All-Star? No.
Do I think Beecher could be a valuable two-way role player in the bottom six? Absolutely.

Exactly like Coyle
If Beecher is like Kuraly but with better hands. Thats a win for the Bs
Selfishly I’m bummed about Lohrei staying but I sort of had a feeling he would, I trust it’s the right decision for him though.
