Avalanche Add Lysell Amid Risky Moves | Denver News

The Avalanche just pulled off a bold move, signing forward Fabian Lysell on a one-year deal after sending Ivan Ivan to Boston in a draft swap. At just 23, Lysell brings NHL experience — 12 games, 3 points — and elite AHL stats: 42 points in 57 games last season with Providence, plus over 160 points since 2022-23. He joins a forward corps reshaped with Zachary L’Heureux and Fedor Svechkov — both also 2021 first-rounders — acquired from Nashville in a deal involving Jack Drury and Chase Bradley. L’Heureux is a physical force with a history of suspensions, while Svechkov played a gritty fourth-line role. All three are set to be restricted free agents after two seasons, making this a high-risk, high-reward gamble as the Avalanche rebuild after their playoff exit.
