Seven minutes. There's seven entire godforsaken minutes of it.

He’s either overvaluing himself or word has got around he’s just not worth it. He’s awful defensively granted but has real skills in a league where you need goals. He’s almost a perfect match for the Bruins 2RW but he’s never played top 6, would probably fail to grasp the system and may not be a likable guy

Kind of. you can google his barfight with F1 driver. he doesnt seem to stick around with teams too long and not a lot of pushback from teammates when he leaves
by talent and secondary scoring help he seems like he could help. No one seems to want him

I think Sprong isn’t signed because people take one look at him and assume he’s 54 years old.
We don't have the cap space to make any other meaningful additions unless they are on ELCs.

Yup, google him and reputation. Besides his on ice laziness defensively there are some less than complimentary opinions and reports about him off ice and in the dressing room. Bruins are building a tough defense first club, he is the opposite of this

He was accused of assaulting some pro race car driver. Sucker punched him and broke some teeth. Maybe he's tougher than we think.
All jokes aside, just sounds like he's not a 200 ft. player and his offense isn't good enough to overlook that fact. He's a 20 goal/half-a-ppg player if he was scoring 30 and putting up 40 assists there would be a GM out there who would be fine with his lack of defensive effort. At 20g/0.5 PPG, he's not worth employing. Sure doesn't sound like the type of middle six forward Sweeney and Bruins would be interested in given their culture of strong two-way play.

I think they try to recreate the Perfection Line but I hope they just stick Fabs with Coyle & Marchy
Bruins lineup is pretty good
I’m very proud of Donny for this
110 points probably conservative but I need to see how Potsy & Fabs look in camp
Fantastic stuff as usual

I'm a Lysell fan but I'd be hesitant to pair him up with Marchand and Coyle if Monty intends to use that line as his main shutdown line like he did last year. Going up against the league's best players isn't how I would envision Lysell's NHL career starting off.
If I'm putting a rookie on their line I'd prefer it be Poitras as he seems to have more defensive chops in my limited viewings of either player.

The regular season is a time to try things and evolve and although everyone is trying to win and it’s extremely competitive- the physical component in moderate at best
I’m Dealer Donny I have to know about Lysell
McQuaid & Donny have said he just needs to play his game (ie not try to go 1 on 4 in middle of ice) and there is probably no duo in the original 32 better served then Charlie Coyle or Brad Marchand to take him under there wings
I’ll be livid if they don’t put him in a position to succeed
Many Red Sox fans wanted to trade Jarren Duran and sign Teoscar Hernandez to a 3/60 M contract
Now Bruins version I’m reading go sign Sprong and basically don’t let Lysell near team
I really like Lysell and think it would be fabulous if he is similar or better to Terevainen
If Lysell shows he is ready to go at the start of the year, I could see him on the line, and then maybe someone else swapping in for him in late and close game situations. It's a long regular season, plenty of time to see who can do what.
It's hard to predict what the lines will look like in October. I can't even imagine what they will look like in April

Yes. Rights to Russian players never expire because there is no formal transfer agreement with the KHL.

Should we be a little more worried about our top six then we are...JFresh put out a top 80 forwards chart (fan voted). Bruins had just three - Pasta, Marchand, Lindholm and to be honest I don't think Zacha and Coyle are all that close
Panthers - 5
Oilers - 4 - without Kane, Skinner, Arvidsson...holy smokes
Leafs - 4
Lightning - 3 but they're in the top 25 and a tough cut for Hagel IMO
Carolina - 4
Rangers - 4
Not going to get into names as you can probably guess who each of them are...Bruins defense and goaltending are up there with the best of them but I think this forward group has some work cut out for them.
I think it's almost a certain Lysell and Poitras make the club. They need some more talent to compete with these playoff contenders but even if they make a big impact up to the TDL, I think it's almost certain they have to add to this group
