John Beecher, 6-4 210 forward who will play for the NTDP next year, has committed to Michigan for the class of '19. Huge get for Mel, a five star type.
More to come.

Another BIG (literally) commit

On Beecher, from Jeff Cox (who knows his stuff) over at Chris Dilks' fine SBNation College Hockey site:
Left Shot, 6’4”/210 - He’s a big time pro prospect with good size. He has decent to above average hands for a player his size. His stride and ability to protect the puck are both assets. He has that reach that you just can’t teach. He can put a puck out there, pull it back and rip a wrist shot on net. He drives the net and does a good job using his size down low and along the boards. He’s got that extra gear to win a battle along the wall and just separate himself from the defender to get to the slot and get a hard shot on net.
6-4, 210, and 16 years old . . . . yow.
What are your early odds on whether he actually enrolls at Michigan, as opposed to pursuing other hockey options?

Impressive, Tim. That shows why I called it a BIG get, and why I think he's an early departure. Highly skilled big men are few and far between.
