Fabian Lysell's fate with the Boston Bruins was just confirmed following announcement
Boston Bruins top prospect Fabian Lysell's fate with the Boston Bruins was just confirmed following an announcement from the team.
The Boston Bruins lost some big players in free agency this year, but no one bigger then Jake DeBrusk. The two sides couldn't come to an agreement after Don Sweeney made it clear that the Bruins took an aggressive approach with the winger.
Ultimately Jake DeBrusk wanted more money and opted to get that through testing free agency. NHL.com reported that the Vancouver Canucks signed Jake DeBrusk to a 7-year, $5.5 million contract.
The Bruins made it clear following free agency that they wanted to find a player internally to replace Jake DeBrusk on the 2RW.
Boston ended free agency by stating there was an internal opening at 2RW and specifically called upon young players [Fabian Lysell] to take it. Lysell scored, skated the puck out of trouble, made plays, shined in transition and 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 got cut. Huge disservice here. #NHLBruins
There was a lot of speculation that Fabian Lysell would be the perfect fit for the spot, and he was given a lot of opportunities with the Bruins during preseason to show that he's worthy of the spot.
Well today we have finally learned Fabian Lysell's fate with the Boston Bruins for the upcoming season.
The Boston Bruins announced roster cuts today and Fabian Lysell was one of them. He will be heading to the Providence Bruins.
Here come the cuts: 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, Jaxon Nelson to P-Bruins Lysell had a good camp with the Bruins, but ultimately the Bruins thought they could find someone else to replace Jake DeBrusk other than Lysell.
