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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

So if we call up Lysell and he plays the last 16 games or so and puts up numbers slightly better than Wahlstrom, then what? Is that really setting him up for success? What are we learning? That he can't produce on a team full of players who aren't producing?

As far as I'm concerned, this season is over for Boston. I'm more concerned with developing the few remaining prospects we have than throwing them into the fire because we don't have any better options.

Wahlstrom played mostly on the bottom two lines and has a much different skill set than Lysell.

Right or wrong, I think they have an idea of how they want their bottom 6 to play and want the skilled players in the top 6 and Lysell's skillset doesn't fit while Wahlstrom's did. Unfortunately, they seemed married to the idea that Coyle is a top 6 forward this year and they probably think Lysell has to wait until a spot on the 2nd line opens up to get his time.

I think they would have been much better off shuffling their lines around to include both Lysell and Poitras on the 2nd line with Marchand and move Lindholm/Coyle to the third as their checking/matchup line.


Geekie -- Zacha -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- Lysell

Frederic -- Lindholm -- Coyle

It's probably too late in the season for it to even matter now.

Can’t learn if no real opportunity presents itself. I don’t think 16 games will ruin anything for Lysell. Maybe since Sacco sucks, but aside from that I see no real harm in getting an opportunity after 3 years learning in the Ahl.

Yeah Coyle ain’t a top 6 player.
In that sense tho, Poitras has been in a third line role all season and he’s been knocked around a fair amount.

Bruins have to play a near perfect game to get a win this season when in reality they play about 10minutes of good hockey per game. If that. Obviously Lysell won’t fix any of that but the team could use a little more creativity and speed
