This Bruins draft pick is drawing rave reviews at World Junior Summer Showcase

The Boston Bruins' selection of John Beecher with the No. 30 pick in the first round of the 2019 NHL Draft was not met with a ton of applause.

The 18-year-old forward was ranked lower than 30 on several draft boards. Many experts gave the Bruins a "C" grade or worse for their 2019 draft, or labeled the Original Six club as "losers" when separating the draft into winners and losers.

Beecher, however, is starting to change some opinions with a strong showing at the 2019 World Junior Showcase over the last week. He put on a show during the weekend, scoring multiple goals and displaying an offensive skill set B's fans certainly will enjoy.

Here's a look at some of his most impressive plays from Sunday's game against Finland, which the Americans won 7-1.

Here are John Beecher’s goals today. He scored his first goal by gaining net-front real estate to tip it in, then he skated in and sniped one for his second goal— extremely impressive this weekend. This is the same player dubbed by some as a “reach” on draft night. #NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/PaTCUM8M2l

John Beecher continues to play well for Team Blue. Here on the penalty kill Beecher sells out and denies the prime chance for the Finland power play. #WJSS #NHLBruins #NTDP pic.twitter.com/2NU60AwyQM

Once again, here’s John Beecher turning and beating a defender on the forecheck, circling low behind the net and setting up a goal (tip by Gruden) from the point. Beecher has had himself a very good weekend at the WJSS and is carrying the effort into today. #NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/FEEVzmM6L4

Beecher also scored a nice breakaway goal versus Sweden on Saturday:

Here are some other observations of Beecher from the event:

I asked U.S. coach Scott Sandelin for his thoughts on John Beecher (BOS) so far: "He can skate ... holy man!"

So John Beecher (BOS) has scored a pair of goals this afternoon. Getting one on a deflection and another after gaining the slot. IMO, the most impressive player at camp ... hands down.

2 goals in 33 seconds for John Beecher gives USA Blue a 6-1 lead in the third period. Bruins prospect using big body well, showing great skating. He's on the wing today after being in the middle yesterday, but has had an outstanding presence first two games here.

It's important not to get overly excited about Beecher's play at the showcase, but it's definitely encouraging to see him play so well against other talented players in his age group.

Beecher will not start the 2019-20 season on the Bruins' roster because he'll be at the University of Michigan as a freshman, but he should have a bright future in the NHL with his impressive size, skating ability and improving offensive talents.
