Unfortunate if that's the case. I think Lysell played well for himself. Shot was so-so IMO but I really liked the touches he put on his passes. Good playmaking ability and his speed made him a constant threat on the ice.

Last year he looked injured and there were rumors he was injured so I took it as a guy putting the team first and playing through it. I always feel like fans are unreasonably tough on guys who play through injury.
Their venue is undergoing renovation.

This is what I was talking about back when TyJo signed, and people said "There's literally no down side!!!" and "If the youngens can't beat him out they don't deserve a spot."
This is the way front offices and coaches work. Nobody here can say that TyJo (and a few other vets) outplayed Lysell. Yet here we (apparently) are. This post should be pinned every August when the inevitable ptos are handed out and people say there's no downside.
Veteran takes lead in Bruins’ goalie race - 4 takeaways from preseaon loss
The battle to back up or stand in for Jeremy Swayman has a clear leader so far.

f***ing baffling to send lysell down with 9 days and 3 preseason games until opening without giving a chance with an actual NHL caliber center. Organizational stupidity.

Joey Abate, Drew Bavaro, Ryan Bischel, Frederic Brunet, Michael Callahan, Riley Duran, Jackson Edward, John Farinacci, Brett Harrison, Trevor Kuntar, Fabian Lysell, Nolan Maier, Ryan Mast, Adam Mechura, Georgii Merkulov, Mason Millman and Jaxon Nelson will report to Providence Bruins training camp.

Team needing scoring help sends down top prospect even after he looked like one of the best players on the ice for two games. Classic Bruins decision making. I don’t know why I’m surprised at this point, seems like this org is allergic to addressing scoring needs.

Smart business move. Talked about this happening last week.

Its the NHL, not high school tryouts.
Rookies have to really be impressive to win a job in pre-season.

Welp- sure hope Tyler Johnson still has some tread of his tires because it's pretty clear the Bs prioritize experience over potential
Sending down Lysell with three games to play after pairing him with slugs is - to be kind- head scratching, Not sure how avoiding head shots from career AHLers is going to further his development.

To send down Lysell w/o having him play with Coyle and March is dumb, dumb, dumb. Some players play better with better players. I'm not saying he would, but this isn't the way to find out. SHL is in his future at this pace.
keeping washed up older players over your top prospect that looks ready, cause waiver eligibility. Super f***ing smart, Sweeney is a real genius.
Both Lysell and Merkulov have areas of their game to work on. Send then down with instructions on what they need to do, have them go out and work on those areas. It's a long season there will be call ups. Then even if they are called up because of injury on emergency basis and light it up for 3 or 5 games they still may be sent back down. Not because they played bad but because of roster, cap, and waivers.
At that point it up to the kid to force Boston's hand. But the experience is indispensable to their game. Tell them to keep their eyes on the prise of being with the big club at the end of the season if they work hard and play well.
Brown and Johnson are both safe moves at the moment if they stay with the team. It's still training camp. Brown is what he is, you know what you're getting. Johnson has had some very good years and brings experience and leadership of a veteran. Both players will not make the same mistakes a raw rookie will make. But at this point neither is a difference maker and may not bring more offensively than the kids would have, but they both know NHL situations and defensive responsibilities. Brown is currently a place holder and may not even make the team. Johnson they may be hoping to tap into one more productive season.
Meanwhile the kids work on their game until Boston figures out the main roster. It's a long season and what we see opening night in all likelihood will not be what we see come the start of the playoffs. So relax and let things run their cousre.

While not a fan of Lysell i would not have sent him down, he needed to see time with either Frederic-Poitras or Marchand-Coyle.
Like I’ve said waiver eligible plays a huge part in the decision making at this time of year. Whether we like it or not.

even if this is true, abslutely zero justification to not give Lysell a few more preseason games with an actual nhl caliber center. He earned that much.
Not if the plan is to send him down regardless. The last couple of preseason games will be used to get the final roster guys going. Like I said it sucks . Doesnt appeal to fairness. But should be expected in a Cap world.

Looks ready to who? Based on two pre-season games? Was he really so good?
How's his board work? Positioning? Defensive play? Line changes?
Just a few questions.
