Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm commented on why the Bruins decided to place John Beecher on waivers.
The other day, the Bruins were hit with some bad injury news, but despite all the noise surrounding the Bruins, they made a move that shocked many.
Don Sweeney announced a roster transaction where the Bruins recalled two forwards from the American Hockey League, which was kind of surprising considering they only needed one player.
Later on, the reason Boston recalled two players was revealed, and it was because John Beecher got placed on waivers.

Why Beecher was placed on waivers
Sturm stated that he gave Beecher a chance, but he didn't take advantage of his opportunity, and ultimately it landed him on waivers.
Sturm on what issues hindered Beecher so far this season:
"Consistency, effort. I know it's not easy being out of lineup, in and out of our lineup, but I have guys just waiting for this moment. End of the day - it's always up to the player."

Sturm on the decision to waive Beecher:
"For me as a new coach, I gave him a new opportunity. And quite frankly, I thought he would be a little bit better, more effective ‚ and I thought he wasn't.
"At some point we have to make a decision how to move forward."
