Sweeney had a chance to replace Beecher with a player who has more upside, and it would have cost him nothing.
This is an interesting choice by Sweeney. Read below for the original article.
Original report
Don Sweeney has the chance to acquire a young, talented forward that was just made available to him for free.
Just yesterday, the Bruins ended up losing Johnny Beecher to the waiver wire.
After being given multiple chances, head coach Marco Sturm had seen enough, and the Bruins decided to place Beecher on waivers.
Yesterday, Elliotte Friedman ended up revealing that the Calgary Flames ended up claiming Beecher off waivers.
With that, Friedman announced that two other players were being placed on the waiver wire, and one of them would be a perfect fit with the Bruins.
Penguins place Tomasino on waivers
Friedman announced that the Pittsburgh Penguins had placed 24-year-old forward Philip Tomasino on waivers.
Along with that, the Philadelphia Flyers have also placed a player on waivers.

Tomasino has some potential to be a solid forward in the NHL, and with the recent injury news the Bruins have suffered, why not take a chance on a guy who has some potential?
In his first full NHL season with the Nashville Predators, Tomasino ended up scoring 11 goals and 21 assists for 32 points.
Since then his production has gone down, but he has the potential to get back there.
Especially considering the Bruins just lost a depth player for free, this wouldn't be a bad move by Sweeney if he puts a claim in for Tomasino.
Do you think Don Sweeney should put in a claim to acquire Philip Tomasino?
