John Beecher Scouting Reports

Still developing depth forward who is deployed at ES and PK.
Averaging just over 11:00 TOI to start (23/24) season.
Plays the game quick and fast. Can disrupt opponents breaking out pucks as F1 on the forecheck.
Doesn't project to provide much offense at the NHL level. Handles are average. Offense comes off hard work and determination more than natural skill.
Depth checker with some bump to his game.

Despite leading the Bruins in scoring at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, Beecher went through long stretches of barely average effort and detail.
His best shift showed speed and tenacity. He scored from around the crease. He battled along the wall. But he didn't play to the identity every time he hit the ice. In fact, he looked moody at times and lacked the three zone detail required for the NHL game.
He has the size, speed, and push back to be an NHL player. Needs to be more consistent.

Element is easy to identify. Used regular shift and on the penalty kill.
Takes key face-offs
Plays a power game with speed
Physical
Battles the hard areas
Big body 200ft player who isn't naturally gifted with the puck on his stick
Offense comes off effort plays when he creates turnovers and space with his approach

Is starting to round back into form after missing substantial time with injury recovery.
Big. Strong, Competes and plays pretty quick and fast.
Solid in the face off circle. The kind of player the coach can roll over the boards in defensive zone starts.
Not naturally gifted with the puck on his stick. His playmaking generally comes off hard work and extending plays with his energy and physicality
RS and PK at Michigan.
