Prospect Info: John Beecher signs ELC - 925K AAV

[PepeBostones]

This really sucks and why wasn't US team officials able get a second test confirmation before finalizing the World Jr Tournament roster. It's a blatant error either from US team officials or the IIHF. IIHF are known for complete screwups and it wouldn't be the first time.

I just find it very weird they couldn't wait for a second test or keep that spot open since the tournament doesn't start until Dec 26, which is in nearly two weeks.

It's a bloody shame but nothing really surprise me when it comes to the IIHF. Old men just caring about their own money and their own good.

At the end of the day it’s a weird virus and they didn’t want to risk exposing the team to it even a little bit. It absolutely sucks but I get it

Anybody catch Haggerty's click-bait article on Beecher getting cut where he didn't mention the covid test in the headline or immediately in the article?

Haggerty and clickbait? No chance.

Seems as if Mr. Beecher has decided to turn pro:

Amateur tryout huh, no ELC? What are the implications?

They're still working out the details while he plays in Providence

According to prohockeyrumors.com, the ATO "allows Beecher to play for Providence down the stretch, something that isn’t possible once he signs his entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins."

Curious to see how he develops. He has all the tools you're looking for (size, skating, two-way game). Had some injuries in college and IIRC he did get COVID. I'm hoping he's just one of those guys where his simplistic game clicks at the pro level. Feels like he could be a Coyle type or Nosek type at worst.

 

[BlackFrancis]

IIRC he didn't get COVID

He might have or might not have, but he got cut from the 2020 WJC team after testing positive.

I believe it was said that was a false positive, but who really knows?

Kuraly is the most frequent comp. Hope he has more of a scoring touch

 

[DKH]

I have him in the SIM league so I watch him whenever I can

Anyone has an questions about his style, make up, projection, I’ll be glad to answer your questions

He doesn’t l, but he’s bigger and a lot quicker

Michigan is my team .Beecher disappointed me if we are being honest but I still see him as 3rd line centre .A Coyle type once he learns to use body better .But Beecher can fly though as we all know so who knows I could be wrong

I always read what you say ( sometimes you fire sarcasm )and your thoughts on him would be great

This .Sometimes when players get what with smarter players the game gets easier for them.

I know. Just wondering if he was on the ice with Beecher and how he’s looked in practice.

Do they have any prospects that don't automatically get labelled as bottom 6 ceilings?
