The 2026 NHL Draft is in full swing, and the Boston Bruins have been among the many teams who have been involved in recent trades, acquiring forward J.J. Peterka from the Utah Mammoth .
But now, the Bruins have made another transaction involving yet another club in the Western Conference, and it's something that may have their fans feeling a bit confused.
On Saturday, the Bruins traded former first round pick Fabian Lysell, whom they selected with the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, to the Colorado Avalanche in return for forward Ivan Ivan .
Not long after he was taken by the Bruins in the 2021 NHL Draft, Lysell signed three-year entry level contract carrying an annual NHL cap hit of $925,000.
He would eventually make his NHL debut in December 2024 against the Columbus Blue Jackets before being eventually returned to the American Hockey League affiliate Providence Bruins.
He's played a total of 12 NHL games with the Bruins, and scored a goal with two assists. Last season in Providence, he appeared in 57 games, scoring 11 goals with 25 assists.
