Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25

I would say Merkulov and Lysell (and Poitras) still have the potential to be top 6 NHL forwards. Whether that is with the Bruins though is seeming less likely by the day. If either of them were traded to SJ or CHI tomorrow, it wouldn't surprise me in the least for them to not only stick in the NHL but be productive. Bruins (right or wrong) just seem to have their own way of handling young, offense-first players.

They want everyone to be a Bergeron. 200 foot player. It’s ok to teach them this. I think they dwell on it to much.

This. Not everyone needs to be a 200 foot elite two-way player.
