Entering the off-season, Boston Bruins forward John Beecher was looking for a bigger contract then a one-year deal, but that's what he ended up getting.
Beecher was signed by the Boston Bruins to a one-year, $900,000 deal with the Boston Bruins, basically a prove it deal for him.
I mean, I got a one-year contract. At the end of the day, it's an opportunity contract, he told WEEI's Scott McLaughlin.
So, I gotta go out there and prove to them and prove to myself that I belong here, and it's my spot in that lineup. I'm confident I can do that.

Beecher on his way out?
Last season, Beecher started off strong, and looked like he was ready to take a step forward, having six points in nine games, it looked like he was starting to come around.
To finish off the year, Beecher had 3 goals, and 8 assists for 11 points in 78 games for the Bruins, after having 6 in nine games.
Mark Kastelic and Cole Koepke were his line mates for the season on the fourth line and they saw just over 11 minutes a night.
The Bruins coaching staff ended up cutting their ice time because the production ended up fading, and so did the trust.
Now the Bruins have a new coaching staff running the show, and new players, but it feels like if Beecher does not find his game this upcoming season, he will be on his way out.
Leading up to free agency, the Boston Bruins ended up kicking seven players to the curb, and it feels like Beecher may be the next one out.
The seven players that were kicked to the curb by the Boston Bruins were Drew Bavaro, Trevor Kuntar, Jakub Lauko, Daniil Misyul, Ian Mitchell, Jaxon Nelson, and Oliver Wahlstrom.
"Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, June 30, that the following players have not received qualifying offers from the team: Drew Bavaro, Trevor Kuntar, Jakub Lauko, Daniil Misyul, Ian Mitchell, Jaxon Nelson, Oliver Wahlstrom."
