Lysell’s demotion down to Providence with three preseason games left on the docket is somewhat surprising. The post Bruins send Fabian Lysell, Georgii Merkulov down to Providence in huge round of camp cuts appeared first on Boston.

With preseason underway and the regular season being eight days away, teams are beginning to finalize their rosters. For the Boston Bruins, they’ve managed to make their first round of cuts.

With these cuts, we are slowly starting to see what the Bruins' potential roster could be for the start of the regular season. One specific Bruin who may benefit from the Bruins cutting so many prospects is professional tryout (PTO) addition Tyler Johnson.

When the Bruins sent Fabian Lysell along 18 other player down to Providence on Sunday, the Twitterati was not happy. Lysell, the highly skilled right wing, had played pretty well in the last two preseason games after being a no-show in the opener.

Highly-touted prospect Fabian Lysell was among 19 Boston Bruin hopefuls reassigned to the team’s American Hockey League affiliate in Providence, on Sunday. Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney made the cuts two hours after Sunday’s practice.
