LW/RW Fabian Lysell (2021, 21st, BOS)

Superlöftet på Luleåbesök – beredd att spela gratis

Sounds like he has determined he wants to go to Luleå, and went there with his family today. A small problem though: Luleå got no cash to pay for a salary or buy out his contract.

 

[VictorLustig]

Seems like he's beyond the point of no return. Luleå of all teams, I can understand why Fröunda is reluctant to release him for free. When does the WHL start?

Scheduled to be January 8th but who knows. Covid cases are getting out of hand especially in Canada's Western provinces

Jättetalangen tränade med Luleå: "Behöver en nystart"

Practiced with Luleå with a Luleå jersey on... There's still that little money problem. And are players even allowed to practice with other teams?

 

[theslatcher]

Well that's that, deal is done. Luleå it is, to be announced tomorrow. Meh.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

This is pretty hilarious:

One talented teenager leaves Luleå b/c of lack of play time etc. Just a few days later, another talented teenager who's younger and even more raw than Gunler, decides to join said organization b/c his current SHL-team, that is weaker on paper and more willing to test juniors, don't give him time on the A-team. What does he expect will happend in Luleå?...

Short term? Not sure.

Keep in mind though that Frölunda has so many of the best 01 and 02 forwards in Sweden (Raymond, Henriksson, Söderblom, Niederbach, Torgersson ++). It's definitely not set in stone that Lysell would be playing much SHL hockey even next season had he stayed in Frölunda. He has no competition at all from the junior ranks in Luleå.

Luleå obviously liked what they saw. Let's hope they give him a chance. Lysell is a much better prospect than Gunler.

 

[theslatcher]

Will debut in the SHL today as Luleå's 13F, a regular for Luleå just had surgery and will be out for 3 months, which in theory should give Fabian plenty of SHL opportunities.

 

[VictorLustig]

Lysell is still my top Swedish forward for this years draft.

Highest upside, for sure.



Already making players in the SHL look foolish.

 

[seadawg]

Lysell is still my top Swedish forward for this years draft.

Interesting...if Lysell is at the top, in your opinion how close are Eklund and Olausson?

Pretty close. I like all three.

 

[simonedvinsson]

Lysell is still my top Swedish forward for this years draft.

Mine too. Possibly my favorite forward in the draft period.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Mine too. Possibly my favorite forward in the draft period.

I’ll agree with both of you. I would say Lysell’s floor is the end of the top ten. I think he’s way too offensively talented to go any lower than that.

 

[theslatcher]

Playing on the 4th line today.

[theslatcher]

Just scored his first SHL goal, and against Frölunda! Took a while for everybody to realize it was a goal, too.

That was a beauty...I want to see more of this kid. Definitely impresses me in the few highlights/clips I've seen.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I was listening to an interview with him recently. Brilliant English for a 17 year old kid whose first language isn't English. Sounded like a native speaker. He could pass for North American. Thats like a lot of Swedes though, but it was very pronounced with him.

 

[theslatcher]

And another one!

 

[theslatcher]

Well, Lysell has looked great in his limited 4th line role. Just a damn shame he went to Luleå because, expectedly, Bulan is... Bulan. Has been handled worse than Gunler was handled last year, and given 0 PP time while their PP2 has been pure ass.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

I have Fabian 4th in the 2021 draft right now. I don’t think he’s quite at the level of Raymond last year but they’re similar players with similar ceilings.

 

[DatDude44]

He's nasty

I think I like him more than Raymond, really like his game.

 

[VictorLustig]

Haven't decided yet but I'm also leaning towards Lysell. Skill level is similar but Lysell plays a more straight forward game and shoots the puck better.
