Concerns were voiced by fans, questioning the decision to place Beecher on the wing when faceoff issues persisted. One fan expressed disbelief, stating,
"We're struggling with faceoffs, and Beecher is great at it – moves him to wing. Are they really gonna play Beecher on the wing so a career 36% faceoff guy can play center? Beecher is a center. Boqvist is a wing. #NHLBruins"
