In the World Junior Summer Showcase, John Beecher has been a stand-out performer for Team USA; something that the Boston Bruins scouting staff are no doubt incredibly excited by.
Although committed to the University of Michigan next season and thus at least a year off making a true impact on the Boston Bruins roster, John Beecher is proving not to be a reach at 30th overall but rather a steal if his current performances are anything to go by.
Obviously, we shouldn’t make our final judgement on the player based on a summer tournament against fellow youngsters, but the skill set he’s displaying certainly looks as if it may translate well a few years down the track in the professional game.
