I like it. It's a free ticket on a very talented player who has yet to find his place in the NHL.

Not likely to yield dividends, but it's not as though we haven't seen this work before. Hell, Fabbro was a free pickup for the Jackets not long ago and he's playing 20+ minutes a night, giving them some offense and is like +12 since his arrival.

Costs us nothing to take a look.

Where did this talent player come from? He has a clip as a 9 year old, but actual talent? It's not there. He had one good season in juniors on the national team. Meh everywhere else. Not good in the AHL, not amazing at BC.

Guy is just a massive bust. Not an NHLer

Scouting report: The No. 11 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft is a natural goal-scorer who owns a rocket for a shot. He gets the puck away quickly and with a lot of power, and he is a major weapon on the power play. Is also willing to stick his nose in to go to the dirty areas, and he has the size to fend off checkers. The rest of his game continues to be a work in progress, and his ability to improve his play away from the puck will determine how successful his career becomes.

Like the claim but this is a huge FU to Lysell
He needs a big FU. Maybe it'll motivate him, though I doubt it if the last few callups didn't. It's been four years since that draft and for all his talent Lysell hasn't even done enough in the AHL to beat out the trash we've had. I think at this point he's just another Khokhlachev.
