Fabian Lysell's Player Profile

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - July 12th: "He still needs to get stronger, and another season of development in the Swedish Hockey League, including a boost in ice time, will help him further develop his game."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - July 12th: "The 18-year-old doesn't have dominating size (5-10, 172), but is strong and capable of winning 1-on-1 battles."

Hockey Prospecting - July 8th: "Lysell is born January 19 so he has been one of the absolute oldest players in his cohort his whole life and he’s always been more developed than his peers growing up. Interestingly, January-born forwards are drafted in the NHL at a higher frequency than any other month, yet, proportionally, they’ve had less stars hit than most other months."

Josh Bell of FC Hockey - July 8th: "Lysell is an offensively dynamic threat with his excellent vision and awareness. His feet and his hands are extremely quick, leading to a highly creative player."

Viktor Bergman of FC Hockey - July 8th: "Lysell has impressive puck skills and is consistently creating quality opportunities for himself and his teammates."

Alexa Potack Dobber Prospects - July 7th: "His playing style exhibits incredible speed and finesse. Facing Lysell during a neutral zone rush is something to fear, he is unpredictable in the best way possible and can work his way around defenders in a variety of ways."

Scott Wheeler - The Atheletic - June 22nd: "He’s also a puck thief who has impressed me with his diligence on backpressure and his ability to jump into seams to intercept passes."

Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - May 24th: "Speed kills, which is why Lysell continues to hover around the top 10 in spite of a rather quiet season as a depth player in Sweden."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - May 12th: "One of the most skilled players in the draft class, but also one of the most inconsistent."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Apr. 23rd: "Lysell is a mobile skater with good speed and creativity. The 18-year-old doesn't have dominating size but is strong and capable of winning 1-on-1 battles."

Fabian Lysell - Dobber Prospects - Mar. 8: "Lysell is one of, if not the most, dynamic players in this draft. Although his offensive production with Luleå has been underwhelming, the other aspects of his game are still shining through."

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Feb. 22nd: "Do you like pace? Lysell is nearly unmatched in that aspect. He has impressive puck skills, a willingness to attack the opposing defense, and a shot that doesn’t get the love it probably deserves."
