After being placed on waivers by the Bruins, there was a bunch of speculation that John Beecher was going to be claimed.
Well, it's now past the 2 p.m. deadline, and we now know his fate with the organization.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirmed that the Calgary Flames have claimed Johnny Beecher off of waivers.

Calgary claims Beecher
This is very surprising, considering Friedman stated that the Canadiens and Canucks were going to have interest.
I don't think anyone saw the Flames claiming him.

Beecher to be claimed?
A new report from a trusted NHL insider has suggested that the Bruins are going to lose a forward for free after being placed on waivers.
Yesterday, the Bruins ended up announcing that forward John Beecher was being placed on waivers.
Although the purpose of this move is for him to be sent down to the AHL, Elliotte Friedman revealed that there is a chance he doesn't make it down there.
According to Friedman, he believes that one of the Montreal Canadiens or Vancouver Canucks may look to claim Beecher off of waivers.
Elliotte Friedman on centre John Beecher on the waiver wire today : Montreal is looking for a centre and I don't think I would be surprised if Vancouver checked in on him.
Losing Beecher for free would suck, but wouldn't be the worst case scenario as he's struggled to find playing time with the Bruins this year.
