Recently, a Boston Bruins insider spoke on players that have put together good training camps so far, and who's struggled, and things are not looking good for one of the Bruins top prospects.
Fabian Lysell is entering his fourth professional season with the Boston Bruins, and a lot of people feel like this is going to be a make or break season for him.
Lysell showed a lot of potential, and was drafted 21st overall by the Boston Bruins during the 2021 NHL Entry Level Draft.
He has struggled to develop, and transfer his play from the AHL to the NHL, and this lead to Lysell being in a bunch of trade rumors this off-season.
Lysell to be sent to the AHL?
Bruins fans are hoping that Lysell can make the team out of camp, but things are not looking to good for him so far.
Lysell is a speedy winger, and has the skill to develop into a third-line goal scorer, and plays a pretty physical game for his size.
As evidenced by the final week of the 2024-25 season, Lysell has the wheels and skills to potentially develop into a third-line scorer. And even though he doesn't fit the profile of a power forward, Lysell used that straight-line speed to throw his weight around and win foot races to pucks at the start of Sunday's game against Washington.
The problem Lysell has been facing is that he has struggled to be consistent, and put together multiple good shifts over a full game.
Connor Ryan of Boston.com believes that if Lysell wants to make the team out of camp, he is going to have to do better down the final stretch of training camp.
There's still a lot to like about Lysell's skillset out on the ice, but he's going to have to showcase a lot more (zero goals, zero points, three shots over two games) down the stretch if he wants to break camp in the NHL ranks.
