Confirmed with Link: Oliver Wahlstrom Claimed by Bruins

[Saxon Eric]

Hopefully works out better than that time they picked up Brian Lawton on waivers...

 

[Dr Quincy]

From 2020-2022 there was clearly something there. I can't speak to why he fell off, but clearly there is nhl talent. Never know what a change of scenery can do.

Injury hurt his skating and has slowed him down a ton. I imagine that also affects how much time and space he has to get his shot off. I like the claim but we'll see how he does.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Yeah. Better take him out back behind the shed and put him down right?

He had a roster spot waiting for him on opening night. Did not do enough to wrap it up and got send down over Koepke. That should not have happened.

Has he done enough in Providence so far this year to put one of the Bruins upstairs for a week?

Apparently he didn’t have a spot.

He’s playing on a line with Tufte and Brown. Easy to create offense next to those guys so no excuse right?

How I see it is the DeBrusk spot was there for his taking. He was really the only sensible pick there and on opening night not only was he NOT on the team in that spot they moved Geekie up as a patch. They then chose to SIGN Tyler Johnson instead of giving Lysell another look in October. I don't think I need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that Bruins Management does NOT like what they see in him right now. They had to scramble and PAID to NOT play him on the big club. That alone goes beyond any stat or fan eye test.

No, not similar players at all. Krejci is an all-time cerebral player.

No one can slow a game down like David Krejci. Criminally underrated.

He didn't do enough? What did he need to do? He looked really good in camp. He was creating chances and showing his speed. Sweeney loves to see how prospects react to getting sent down. It's a weird fetish of his. They pulled the same crap w/ Studnicka and killed his confidence.

Lysell looked a hell of a lot better than Johnson did, but Sweeney loves his vets. Why do you think so many people were shocked when Poitras made the team last season? It's because guys who don't require waivers are 99.9% of the time getting sent down over a vet, even if they outplay the vet

For better or worse it looks like this Bruins management looks at the full ice game of a player before awarding them a roster spot over another NHL player..
Im not going to break down what Lysell is lacking because Im not qualified to do so. Read Doms newsletter(COUGH Dom - Hockey COUGH) if your looking for a opinion from someone with a pro eye. As for me I look at what was NOT done to deduce whats going on, here is what I said in a post just above yours:

As for your view on Studnicka, I don't agree. I was all in on Captain Jack, too. But he just did not do enough to warrant a full-time job. Not with Boston, and then not with Vancouver, then not with San Jose, and now not with the Kings.

He had 38 games as a Bruin and 69 with 3 other teams since and has done nothing to support your view of him being dumped by Sweeney who "ruined his confidence" He did not earn an NHL spot and has not since.

Equally, neither has Lysell according to his bosses. If roster decisions were up to the fanbase he would have been the 2C all year. Which means either the entire Bruins management is wrong or the fan base supporting Lysell is.
Do we really need to go into who deserves more to be hired to make those decisions?

 

[CellyHard]

Forgot he played with Wotherspoon a few years back...gives him a familiar face in the organization

As for Poitras, he needed to be sent down.

Flame away.

If the kid had still been here all season he would have 3 concussions already. The kid needs to learn to keep his head up, he has the skills and the toolbox but gets lit up at least once a game. He wont survive the year up in Boston the way that was going. Poitras deserves to play according to the stat sheet, but not according to the intangibles of "getting your brain turned to mush before you hit your next birthday."

He will figure it out and we will see him again. But I full agree with him continuing to learn a thing or two in Providence for now.

Management can make poor decisions and they have. The group has a piss poor track record of drafting and developing forwards. Nearly 10 years of this management group and your top 3 FWD are who DeBrusk, Frederic & Beecher/Lauko?

-Streaky top 6 goal scorer
-Inconsistent 3rd liner
-Pair of 4th lines

......yikes

Funny you use two guys (Brown with more points than Lysell and Tufte with more goals in four fewer games) as examples of players holding him back.

Seems to me that based on results, that's precisely who he should be playing with.

 

[Alicat]

I see a lot of Ryan Spooner in Lysell. Touted prospect, pouty when sent down, thought they had a spot guaranteed and came into camp and looked bad.


I was right about Ryan Spooner.

Browns the team captain too, no?

Lysell was never pouty though? Where are you getting pouty?

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I’m more than happy with this claim. He is easily an upgrade over McLaughlin,Johnson and probably Geekie and Brazzeau. He will have 20 by the end of the season.

Lol

I’m not sure where anyone gets the pouty thing from other than it fits the narrative.
