@BruinsNetwork quoted this tweet... I have a feeling Beecher is going to put up some decent point totals in college.

a line of lauko, beecher and zach would be fun to watch. ludicrous speed, now.
Good size too. Lauko being the smallest at 6’1 is fun (even if he does need to add weight)

high floor on this guy, i'm still dubious that he's got the tools to be anything close to top 6. but like kuraly, he will
be very helpful player.

I never understood the Frederic 2.0 comparisons. They're not similar players.

Same the only thing remotely similar between the two is size. Beecher is a far better athlete and skater

Size and they both play physical styles, but yeah... That's where the similarities end. Maybe I put too much weight into skating? I think that's too big of a difference in each's game to compare them.
It’s probably the same thing where every smaller Russian is Khokhlachev

The future looks really bright!

Beecher
Frederic
Maybe not a true #1 centre in the mix but more than adequate when you factor in the winger support. (Pastrnak/Debrusk etc.)

Well what works for Beecher is that he can skate very well for a big guy. Trent’s biggest weakness was skating and it was pretty evident when he played his few games in the NHL. Hope he works on it and gains speed because Trent may end up more bust than boom.

the good/positive news for Frederic and others like him is there are some areas you can`t teach but skating is one where we have all seen great examples of kids whose skating was in question early in their careers who improved with hard work and terrific instruction

Can't teach that speed. Looks like his hands can keep up as well.
Excited for him, everyone of his highlights he looks explosive. Lets see if he can continue to improve while playing top 6 in College.

I’d like to line up Hussein Bolt on a track next to Johnny the blur Beecher on a sheet of Edmonton ice - 100 yard dash
Bolt in theory should win but The Blur takes it

Watching him today vs Finland, you can see that he's exactly the kind of thing the Bruins love. It's all the little things. He's always back, never stays on too long, plays his role. He also had a couple nice little plays where you can see some skill; like one where he picked up a puck wrapped around the boards and handled it then dropped it to Kaliyev all in one motion.
Bruins prospect Johnny Beecher cut from Team USA camp after positive COVID-19 test
Bruins prospect Johnny Beecher will not wear his country's colors at the 2021 World Junior Championship, as the big-bodied center was among the final cuts from the team's camp. Beecher was a seemingly surprising cut from camp considering that he was on last year's team, but it came as a result of a positive COVID-19 test (enough to disqualify him from the tourney under current IIHF rules), Beecher's father told the Boston Globe's Matt Porter.
Beecher has since tested negative, according to his father.

Righteous bucks!
There should have been another test in the same day after the false-positive. Sucks that Beecher is not going to play in the WJC. Especially with Robertson staying in Toronto. Beechers role might have been expanded.
