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.
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.
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.
