VIDEO: Patrice Bergeron has high praise for Bruins prospect
The Boston Bruins may not have the deepest prospect pool in the National Hockey League, but that doesn't mean they don't have high-end prospects. One of those is 19-year-old Fabian Lysell.
Not only have the best scouts and insiders deemed Lysell as a top prospect in the league, but so has a Bruins legend himself, Patrice Bergeron. The young Swede had the honor of skating alongside the Bruins captain during the first few days of training camp.
''He's one of the best players in the world. It's just the overall game and all the small details � how good he is with the stick and communicating.''

Lysell may have been in awe to have the privilege to skate with the Bruins legend, but Bergeron was very impressed by the youngster as well.
''Definitely a great talent with a lot of speed and a smart player. It's good to be on the ice with him and get to know him.''
He discussed the growth he's seen in Lysell from last year to now:
''I think that's what you want to see from one camp to the next. As a young player you gain some confidence, you're comfortable in coming back, you know what to expect and I'm sure that's what's happening for him.''
�'He had a great year in junior and now he's trying to career that on this year and prove that he's a great player that deserves a spot. I'm sure he's fighting for a spot, so that's what we want to see, some healthy competition, and guys pushing each other to be better.''
