I wonder how long Lysell has to show it to get a call up. I’d be conservative but you want to reward the guy to.

Where though? Are you bumping JVR from the top 9? I am not. I am also not calling Lysell up for a 4th line audition. I think injury is the only path for him this year. If he increases that pace and forces the hand of management, good for him, but it would take a lot.

They don't have the cap space to call him up. The currently have $55k in cap space with a 23 man roster. They could send Steen or Brown down, but they're only an $800k cap hit. That gives Boston $855k in cap space....but Lysell is a $863k cap hit

He's been hot for the last 5 games in terms of scoring. So that is part of what is necessary to get him to the NHL. Not sure if the rest of his game is there yet. But I do think we need to see more than a 5 game hot streak before we even consider promoting him. You are going to have to take a good NHL player out of the lineup to give him a spot.

Steen was great last night but I would love a look at Lysell while we have the injuries.

Can Steen still go back down without having to clear waivers again? Looks like His 30 day window may have expired, or expires today

I'd probably sit Geekie. He's working hard which is great but he's made some weird plays on offense recently, passing to guys who are covered, making waist-high passes...

It's him or JVR and JVR is contributing more offensively.

I don't think that's right. Capfriendly says we have $1.9m in "current cap space" thanks to the LTIR situation. So send down Brown to clear a roster spot and call up Lysell and they'll still have a little over $1.8m in cap space.

Geekie is the guy most at risk in the top 9 of finding himself at 4RW at some point this season. Again, a few hot games isn’t enough, but if it continues at some point something would have to happen.

I like Geekie but like you, I don't know if I like him in the top 9 at this point. He needs some more games before passing any judgement though. Its been up and down for him. But, and to the point of the thread, is Lysell the guy you call up if Geekie is demoted? I don't see Lysell going on a 3rd or 4th line and working out. It might well be that if JDB continues to struggle, Lysell is the guy you go to and see what happens.

@saxoneric Has Lysell's "inside game" improved with his production?

Since he was called out on his perimeter only play a few games ago he's been motivated to get inside more
But also of note, he's winning his share of board battles and has been hustling back on D, along with elevating his line mates
Whether he's turned his frown upside down or he's back on program it's been a lovely turnaround for him

I could certainly see him as a puck mover on the third line with all the slow bodies we have. Honestly, the lines are still kind of a mess right now so who the f*** knows.

You gotta love to see it.

I don't know that we have another prospect with a higher "ceiling", so if Lysell figures it all out we're sitting pretty.

Bruins could use some more impact play on the wings in the middle six
