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

[Kevin Musto]

it is pronounced lysell or loosell? kid has some nice mitts.

This is how the play-by-play guys in Sweden call him, so it's probably correct.

 

[VictorLustig]

The "y" should be pronounced like the "y" in lynx.

 

[Tomas W]

"Loosell"? Ehm.. no.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

"Loosell"? Ehm.. no.

I mean, Zion Nybeck is pronounced "ZEE-on NOO-behck" in Swedish broadcasts. I can see where Lysell could be pronounced "LOO-sell". I think that I've heard it said in Swedish interviews as "LEE-sell", however. I'm not familiar with Swedish phonetics.

Nybeck is not pronounced with any o's either.

Yeah EE sounds much more like a "Y" in any Swedish name. Maybe IE even more close. So call Nybäck Neebaeck and Lysell Leesell. Would be close enough!

Nybeck is difficult to get right for an English speaker I think. "Ny" means "New" so I would go with New-beck. The correct way of pronouncing his name would sound awkward if used in an English sentence.

Same with any name including "Sjö". Just replace it with "sea", same meaning.

 

[Tomas W]

I think EE for Y is pretty close.

 

[GetFocht]

He has the skill set to be the best player out of the draft

Swedish winger Fabian Lysell has spent most of the season in a bottom-line role for Lulea HF in the SHL. Playing against men, the 17-year-old put up just two goals and an assist for three points in 26 games this year. However, he has done a lot better playing against his own age group. In 11 games in the J20 league, Lysell scored three goals and 10 assists for 13 points. He played for Team Sweden in the IIHF Under-18 World Championships. Lysell has put up three goals and six assists for nine points in seven tournament games.

In 2019-20 he bounced around the Swedish junior leagues. In 11 games in the J20, he put up one goal and five assists for six points. He was incredible in the J18 league, putting up 18 goals and 22 assists for 40 points in 18 games. Lysell also played for Sweden in the Under-17 World Hockey Challenge scoring five goals and two assists for seven points in five tournament games.

2021 NHL Draft #10: Fabian Lysell Scouting Report

 

[Bounces R Way]

Lots of skill, drives the center of the ice really well, excellent skater. Very assertive with the puck. Something about him I can't really quite put my finger on says he could be a faller in the draft though. Teams might have concerns about his game translating.

Feels like a guarantee. On the smaller size, lack of production at a pro level, mediocre tournament showing. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the board past 15, as silly as that might look years from now.

 

[Schenn]

Cosentino said something on Hockey Central @ noon today about potential off ice issues that may give some teams pause. Anyone have any insight into that comment?

Could be due to his move from Frölunda. Essentially forced them to let him go. But it needed to happen for everybody's sake. Still such a shame he went Lule tho.

I would assume this has to do with Lysell demanding a trade to a new club so he could play at the SHL level. He felt he was too good to be playing in the junior league. Some have called him arrogant because of this, but I don't see it that way.

If it's something else, I don't know about it.

 

[Eggtimer]

Yes I heard as well that there are some question marks as to what happened in Sweden and him “moving “ from one team to another. Apparently it very rarely happens? I don’t know, maybe reporters being dramatic. At any rate , is there any way in hell he slides anywhere near 20? I am not holding my breathe but hoping he falls to where the Islanders pick (Devils) is. I thought he looked very good in the u18 tournament

No.

Happened to Gunler

 

[VictorLustig]

I think he will slide past 20, maybe even 30. I'd personally take him higher though.

+ size. We seen it with Rossi and Perfetti; even though Lysell has stellar game breaking ability.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I think he will slide past 20, maybe even 30. I'd personally take him higher though.

He's probably a steal in the 20-35 range like Berggren and Hoglander. 11 to 19 he's about average value. Top 10 and you are reaching.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Next Ehlers/Nylander?

 

[Nabrules]

McKenzie has him 12 and said the “top 13 have separated themselves. Keep dreaming if you think they’ll be there in the 20s or 30s
