Overview
- Multiple outlets cite a rumor from Dominic Tiano, shared via the Bruins Diehards channel, that Boston and Edmonton have discussed Fabian Lysell.
- Lysell, a 2021 first-round pick, has 121 points in 162 AHL games and three points in 12 NHL appearances as he enters the final year of his entry-level contract.
- Analysts widely question the fit for Edmonton given recent additions of Isaac Howard and Matthew Savoie plus veteran Andrew Mangiapane on the wing.
- Names floated in speculative packages include Beau Akey, Vasily Podkolzin, Matthew Savoie, Quinn Hutson, Michael DiPietro, and Mattias Janmark, though several are viewed as unlikely returns.
- The Hockey News notes Edmonton’s limited cap space (about $225,000) and emphasizes that no deal or formal talks have been confirmed.
