Be it Lysell's own tantalizing high-end talent or the top-six vacancy currently present in Boston's forward corps, the Swedish product is staring at a golden opportunity to make his mark with the Bruins this winter.
Based on the comments from Boston's top brass, they're planning on giving him every opportunity to seize such a coveted spot up front.
Don Sweeney said of Boston's next crop of young skaters like Lysell and Georgii Merkulov, 'If you're the best player, then we'll find a way to get you in the lineup. You have to sustain it as you're going along. ... Those guys should have clear intentions to come and find an opportunity to beat somebody out because it'll be there.'
Even though Boston landed two of the top free agents on the market, the opportunity is there for a skilled forward like Lysell to carve out a spot in a featured, top-six role.
