Since they've not made a major splash during the off-season to acquire meaningful talent to fill the spot DeBrusk left, who is to fill that spot?
Could it be Fabian Lysell? Georgii Merkulov?
By all means, you can argue that Lysell is ready for a breakout season, after playing 56 games in the AHL with the Providence Bruins, he posted 50 points(15 G, 35 A).
He should've gotten a major look in the NHL, considering the Bruins gave Matthew Poitras and John Beecher long looks in the big leagues.
If not for his upper-body injury we could've seen how he would've fared in a long-term role in the NHL.
According to Adam McQuaid, he just needs to play, not overthink things, and be reliable, be what the Bruins need.
