Fabian Lysell's fate with the Boston Bruins was just determined
21-year old Bruins forward, Fabian Lysell wasn't present at the Bruins Development camp.
This is surprising considering what's on the line for the Bruins forward, but given he was nursing injuries prior to the end of the AHL season with the Providence Bruins, it's understandable.
His AHL season ended well, as he scored 15 goals and 50 points during his time in the minors.
He'd eventually find the same page as the P-Bruins coaching staff and ride it to a successful end, in 56 games.
«I hate the play in the third period where he's trying to beat a guy one-on-four,» said Mougenel after a 4-1 P-Bruins loss to the Syracuse Crunch in December. «That's the stuff he's got to get out of his game, and it's recognizing that. We're getting into year two here and he's got to start buying in or we won't play for Jim Montgomery.
«There's a lot of good things he does. He can create anxiety with his feet, but for Fabian, he needs to recognize that sometimes there's not always a play to be made. I think that's still in his growth.»
Despite his challenges, he thrived in a way that could earn him a look in the NHL with the Bruins, with a 50-point season. He had to be called out by the AHL coach as well, but bounced back well.
His playmaking skills and offensive prowess should make him stick out amongst the other prospects that are headed to development camp for the Bruins this season.
«Fabian had taken some steps. [He's a] super young guy, came in and played pro when some of those guys were playing juniors. We sometimes forget that,» said Bruins Player Development Coordinator Adam McQuaid. «For Fabian to just come in and be confident and not have to overcomplicate things. He's skilled. He's capable. He doesn't need to necessarily set the world on fire. Just come in here as a reliable player and create opportunities when they're there.
«He's another guy we're really excited for. Especially coming in this year with two years pro under his belt. It'll be a good year for him.»
