HIGH VALUE: Why Bruins Should CONSIDER Trading Fabian Lysell for a Game-Changing Forward Upgrade

Boston Bruins face a pivotal decision: cash in on Fabian Lysell’s trade value or trust his offensive spark amid a playoff push. Is Boston poised to package prospects for a top-six upgrade and finally fix their lingering lineup gaps? Ian McLaren weighs the merits of selling high on Lysell, explores Pavel Zacha’s future, and breaks down the Bruins Barometer with a buy-mode outlook. Key discussion points include Victor Arvidsson’s potential as trade bait, ESPN’s latest trade board targets like Connor Garland and Igor Chinakhov, and tonight’s winnable matchup against a depleted Winnipeg Jets squad. From Jeremy Swayman’s goaltending to Morgan Geekie’s scoring surge, the evolving roster strategy signals Boston’s intent to contend. Can the Bruins optimize their top-six, outpace Atlantic Division rivals, and land a transformative deal before the trade deadline?

    Maybe just maybe bring him up and don't put him with scrubs and see how he does? Not like Merks mighty 2 game callup . He's now shown enough to be brought up. Give the kid a fair chance to play.

    Get rid of him while you might get some worth. This experiment has run its course. Our prospect pool is looking better with Hagens,Moore, Latrenau, Zellers, etc.

  8. @exturkconner

    His value may never be higher. But what is his value? Right now he's on pace to have 36 goals in a full ahl season. You know who had 36 goals in a full ahl season last year and still couldn't get his team to qualify him and who's way better away from the puck? Steeves. I'm not sure Lysell has any value. In fact I'm pretty sure he literally has none. I think they probably should trade him for his sake. Send him to a team that might use him if you can get back anything. But I don't think you'd get actual value for him. I don't think you'd get actual value for him at all.

    I trust sweeney more than I trust us prognosticators. I am sure he has taken and made calls with teams for players he sees as a bruins fit. He only lets us down in first round picks. That's on scouts?

  12. @danielbaldwin9855

    There's no urgency to trade Lysell yet but they should give him another shot at playing with the B's before trading him. The trade deadline isn't close, so wait and see. I definitely would trade him because he's been weak in every shot he's gotten with the B's , he's afraid to go into the corners or even high traffic areas and get the puck.He shuns contact and wilts like a flower in January.But maybe he's changed enough and become productive enough to stick with the B's . If there's a good offer on the table don't hesitate Sweeney, don't wait too long ! 😅

    If anything I’d flip him for a right shot D … Jokiharju hasn’t been great. Plus, if you keep him … and Arvidsson walks in FA next season, you have Lysell to fill that spot.

    I say trade McAvoy! He's been injured 3× since 4 NATIONS & he's been a wus over this 🤬 face injury! If he doesn't man up, throw on a bubble & do his 🤬 job tonight..TRADE HIM!!
