Prospect Info: Boston Bruins Sign Brady Lyle To Entry-Level Contract

Disappointing. Seemed to have potential.

Maybe they were going out on a hunch that his production last season was from playing weak teams most of the season and they wanted to free up a contract spot? They don’t see the potential against better AHL competition?

There must be a reason.

freed up a contract, freed up a spot on D in providence. seemed like this guy cratered this year.
originally looked like found money, now, just another guy that came close but missed.

I'm disappointed we gave him away. I get that he had a bad year, but I thought he looked great in camp, and RHD are rare.

If you needed a RHD roster spot, why not move out Lewington, Curran or Didier. I guess I'll just have to trust that the folks in Providence know him better and see a fatal flaw. (That STL doesn't.)

I wonder if the Gabriele move is all about Lohrei. Making sure he's comfortable, making sure he has a Carlo type partner to play with so he can transition to the NHL.

Looked like a gamer. There is still time for him. He has the build and is a late bloomer. Maybe a Boychuck type story is in his future if he keeps up the effort and self improvement.

Hopefully future considerations ends up being something of value
While Lyle's development had kind of stalled a bit he wasn't terrible
He had been a healthy scratch lately, I have to wonder if he spouted off, that's the kiss of death down there and makes sense why they played AHL vets over a Boston Bruins prospect

That's the thing. Fans see a trade like this and assume Sweeney just blindly moves whomever to free up a roster spot. It very well could have been an issue with the player. So many factors at play over the course the season(s).

They felt pretty comfortable to hand him to their top opposition in the AHL.
