Providence needs a body I guess

Not an option right now. Will have to put him back on waivers if they want to send him down. He's been claimed with the thought that he could be a fit in Boston.

Nope with lidholm now out for the foreseeable future we need another body

 

[NDiesel]

I don't mind it, had potential at one point, maybe a change of scenery helps, and if not then see ya later no harm done.

Oh I know how it works. I was making a statement on his ability to play hockey.

 

[HooperDrivesTheBoat]

Tons of talent. Just something about his game hasn’t translated to the NHL. Kind of reminds me of Rob Schremp. Maybe something will click in Boston.

Who doesn't like a free player

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

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

 

[Over the volcano]

Desperate times call for it.

Think if Johnson showed them anything they might not take this swing.

Who doesn't like a free player

Well find out pretty quick who.

 

[Sevendust]

Like the claim but this is a huge FU to Lysell

 

[DavidK]

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.

[McGarnagle]

Low risk, moderate upside. Nothing to lose here for a team short of scoring.

Lysell has 4 goals so far in Providence. Hasn't earned the FU yet

 

[mjhfb]

Looks like another New England prodigy that DS hopes to rekindle.

 

[Grimey]

Was that Swayman in net?

 

[Mainehockey33]

Probably destined for Europe but nothing to lose trying him out.

 

[McGarnagle]

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.

Love his cockiness

Worth it

Hope he KOs some 24 year old who's never fought before.

 

[BamBamCam]

Another 3rd/4th liner but I think on this Bruins team he could take the place of Brazeau

 

[Sheppy]

Because of course he was.

They gotta plug that mini one on one goal to the point everyone wants to walk into oncoming traffic.

 

[Gordoff]

Nope with lidholm now out for the foreseeable future we need another body

Which Lindholm? We know about Hampus but are you referring to Elias?
