Rumors are swirling that the Bruins are dangling Lynsell in a trade with Edmonton.
Why would the Bruins want to move on from one of their most talented, young prospects? Why would they consider him a trade chip?
Well, for one his stock is still relatively high even though he hasn’t broken through in Boston yet. Teams around the league know what type of skill set he brings, that makes him one of Boston’s few valuable young pieces that could headline a trade.
Let’s look at his opportunities so far: He’s been with Providence for the most part, we’ve seen flashes where you see why’d he’d be a first round pick but hasn’t dominated the way you want.
He’s been streaky, his compete level has been questioned at times, and his consistency has been an issue.
