Player Discussion Fabian Lysell

[Dr Hook]

Yanni Gourde

But yeah it's a small number of guys. But he could also be moved to the wing.

Good call on Gourde, and I am still not sure why it matters if they were drafted or not. There are a number of smaller centers in the NHL that are solid players.. I am not pumping Merk's tires in the sense that I think he is going to be a game-changer for Boston (though he could be), but making the point that they signed the guy knowing full well what he was- a smaller, skilled center, and he is producing in the AHL in that role at a level you expect a good prospect to do. Why not give him the chance to show what he can do in the NHL in the role where he has been successful and see what you've got? If he can't hack it, he can't. and away he goes. With the team lacking scoring talent and skill right now and sinking like a stone, there is no reason not to give Merk and Lysell (since this is his thread) a good long look and see what you have.

You missed the joke.

Someone had to say it

Stilll boggles my mind that Lysell was called up, played well and was immediately sent down and not called back up in the last 2 months

It's on brand for this organization, unfortunately

If he's still here after Friday I think we see him the rest of the way.

He is probably a good bet to be a bust.Another brilliant 1st round pick by Swenious.Sweeney is dragging this franchise into the abyss.

Its not looking to good that's for sure but until I see him in the NHL for a long stretch Im not convinced.

He can't be that bad can he?

I dunno but Viel getting more games is not a good sign

I always felt they bring up a player to play a certain roll

That's the Bruins.They are not scoring much though so it kind of goes against the need here.I was hoping and thought actually that the kid would be here by now.

I think not having a creative center to put him with ,the worry would be he would play as a one man team.

If he is going to play in Boston he needs to be with a solid center and NO its not Coyle

Your expectations for late firsts is way too high. You either are getting guys with a lot of talent but some flaws that could sink them, or low ceiling guys. This was a take a swing pick and he just turned 22.

I think it was simply a case of them having Pasta-Coyle-Brazeau already dressing on RW, and with Frederic and then Marchand getting injured they wanted left-shot forwards for the road trip.

Maybe it's a salary cap thing?

Did he really impress you that much, I didn't see it, but I will say he should be brought up now, and get this over with, and see what he has and have a find, or remove all doubt. Potras,, and Merkolov ,have had their shot, maybe give Merk a little more time, but to be honest, I am convinced any will work out , just not sold on any of the Bruins prospects.

He didn’t look bad, got in on the forecheck and helped create a goal. Took some shots. Had one miss play maybe where they got hemmed in their own zone.

This team can’t score, you can pressure anyone on the powerplay and they fumble the puck/turn it over.

We just watched Wahlstrom get ~16 games over him, I don’t get it.

I’d say it’s a 50/50 coin flip on if he’d help or hurt the team the rest of the way but it’s silly to keep delaying that opportunity the way this seasons gone
