My read? He played well but not well enough to stay up in managements eyes.

He will get another call up at some point in the nearish future.

After they come to the conclusion that Walhstrom isn’t an NHL player is probably when he will get more time.

He was on the ice for Providence this morning, so not seeing him in the lineup tomorrow. I really think the org just wanted to get him his first game while his family was in town and could in attendance. It's a nice gesture towards a player that's been in the org for like 3.5 years now, not worth reading into it much beyond that IMO.

I do not believe that a decision to bring a player up is based on his family is in town, I would hope not anyways, if that is to be true someone should be fired.

I think the real reason was they wanted to see what they have before the real season begins tomorrow night.

It shouldn't be understated how tough of a schedule the Bruins face the next 40 days up to the 4 Nations break. Both in frequency (19 games) and quality of competition. There will be injuries and call-ups.

Wouldn't it take more than 1 game to decide that? I think the plan must've been "This is a 1 game thing" all along. Maybe a hattie would've convinced them but I don't think the Providence assignmen was anything about how he looked at all.

Seems like a reward to the kid for working hard and getting his game on track. Maybe also an attempted wake up call to a guy like Wahlstrom, I don't know, but the "Washington is big" excuse is seriously lame IMO, they are 22nd in hits, hardly a bruising group.

I'd like to believe that. But has this management group ever been nice to a player like this? Maybe they really DID not want to play him against the Caps so they will call him back up afterward? Every option available for what this was just does not seem to quite fit. Like a puzzle piece that's close, but not quite right so you have to pound on it to make it fit.

Just a feeling I have. I have zero facts to go off here as do most of us on this.
Time will tell?

PS: Glad to see you posting more again, Welcome back!

I mentioned last year that odds are Lysell would be Donato if he was lucky. People thought that was outrageous. I'm just saying we'd all happily take the Donato career arc now. That would be beyond what he's trending at presently.

I don’t think donato should be in the league to be honest.

DeBrusk and Krejci were rookies the same age Lysell is now. Marchand, Geekie and Frederic played games but didn’t stick until the next year. E Lindholm and Pasta were already established. Zacha was established, but as a 25 point guy. Coyle was in his first full season. Beecher didn’t sniff games until his next year.

Moving on to guys like Donato that didn’t stick around… Donato had his 12 game cup of coffee. Vatrano had 39 games. Heinen had 8 games. Bjork had 30. Spooner had 4.

You might totally be right that he ends up being a 25 point offense only player that really only would get playing time on the worst teams like Donato But, I think it’s premature to say if he is on a Marchand or Vatrano or Spooner or Donato trend at this point.

Donato is outscoring Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi at the moment. And he's a better 2-way player than both of them.

That said, I agree that its way too early to project Lysell's career at this point.

On our team Donato would be 3rd in goals behind only Pasta and Marchand. He'd be 3rd in points for us too.

So I do look forward to you defending this point in some reasonable way.

And even though I STILL don't think Donato is spectacular, my point stands. We'd be lucky to see Lysell develop to this level (3rd on our team in scoring). Every single one of us in here right now prays that ends up being his best case. Because his most likely case right now doesn't look amazing.

Agreed. I believe a B's coach left a fairly regular player off the Outdoor game roster, for a game in their home town. Was it Krug in Michigan ? Perhaps I'm mistaken.
