Player Discussion Fabian Lysell

Give him time to cook in the NHL and fully break out of his prospect cocoon. His biggest thing he needs to work on is the will to battle for the puck. The more games he plays, the more comfortable he looks. IMO the skill to be an NHL'er is there. Exciting player to watch skate with the puck. This is probably the most important summer of Lysell's career to date.
 
I'm all for giving him another go next season, but I'd like to see him play with other skilled players. Popping him on the 4th line won't really do much.
 
They probably won't but if they all impress they could try a 3rd kid line of Minten, Poitras and Lysell.
If they click the Bruins are all set for a decade.

With Minten probably but Potsy and Locmelis got a real love bromance thing going on, can’t break those boys up.

The middle 6 is bloated, but never a bad thing to have extra assets

When I watch him, I get Ryan Spooner flashbacks.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Yea not me, Spooner never demonstrated the dogged puck pursuit Lysell has through his whole career. In fact one of his question marks was getting tunnel vision on plays and not seeing the whole ice, when he first came up he did too many fly bys instead of what made him successful, when he got comfortable and started playing to his natural tenor that’s when he started to put up points
 
I don't see any Ryan Spooner in him at all. Lysell is the better skater, sturdier on his skates. Fabian is a natural winger, Spooner never seemed to accept and embrace that he was better suited to the wing than center at the NHL level.

I think Spooner was a better skater. His lateral movement was outstanding.

Lets hope Lysell turns out to be the better player.
