The Pittsburgh Penguins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins] are currently in the middle of a retool/rebuild. Because of this, one of their primary goals from here should be to continue to improve their prospect pool. This will only help their future as they look to become a playoff team again. With the Penguins needing more youngsters, one trade candidate who they should seriously consider targeting is Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins] prospect Fabian Lysell. Lysell, 22, has been the subject of trade rumors this off-season, and it is not necessarily surprising. The Gothenburg, Sweden native has had trouble cracking the NHL lineup with the Bruins, and he could use a change of scenery at this point. With the Penguins needing more youth and skill, Lysell could be a good prospect for the Metropolitan Division club to take a shot on. Lysell played in his first 12 career NHL games this past season with the Bruins, where he posted one goal and three points. While he had a quiet start to his NHL career in 2024-25, he has shown good promise at the AHL level. For example, in 2023-24 with the Providence Bruins, he posted 15 goals and 50 points in 56 games. While his offense went down a bit last season with Providence, his numbers in 2023-24 show that there is some upside there. Overall, if Lysell could be had for a reasonable price, he would have the potential to be a good, low-risk addition to the Penguins' prospect pool. The potential for him to still become at least a top-nine NHL forward is there, and it will be interesting to see if the Penguins pursue the former first-round pick because of it.
