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

[EON]

Man, twitter responses are absurd.

"Why did we sign a player with no NHL experience? This doesn’t help us at all. Stupid signing."

This is a very commonly used troll response anytime a team signs a player to an ELC, don't fall for it.

But anyways, this is a good signing, this guy was always very irritating to watch as a fan of a rival OHL team. Good skater for his size. Won't be surprised if he develops into a solid 3rd pairing dman and they got him for free.

I'm sure he'll be in the lineup next season because of injuries.

Or a week from today.

I've seen folks in the Providence Bruins thread hype this dude up. Never hurts to have depth. Nice that management likes his play enough to warrant an NHL deal, and we all know Don and Co know how to scout and develop defensemen.

Only problem is he wears 37!

and he can't reverse it because Charlie McAvoy wears it!

 

[BMC]

A big guy who can move the puck? Sign him up!

 

[mar2kbos]

That is never a problem at HF Bruins

Hey we’re not stupid we’re Lunatics at HF!

I replied to that lol

Dumb question perhaps. Is this a 2 year contract starting next season, or a 2 year contract that is in place immediately. I assume it starts next year

2 yr ELC that will essentially replace the existing SPC.... by the time it's filed with the AHL AND it likely means another contract toward the 50 player limit....

 

[The National]

Welcome aboard!

Or a week from today.

or after our next game vs the Capitals

At times this place is referred to as the LF. Lunatic Fringe. It goes back 10+ years. If not more.

[McGarnagle]

New England has a good track record with Bradys

Pretty sure that was a Leafs fan who tweeted that

Smart move since other teams have been sniffing around looking to steal him. Big guy with a Johnny Rocket shot. Good depth for next years season as Miller and Cliffy cannot be counted on for consistency or health reasons. I see him passing both those guys going forward. He is ahead of Ahcan and Zech for the simple reason of size on the back end. We fall short versus the big teams, so guys like him and Lohrie that have skill and size are perfect.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I found it interesting from the two scouting reports posted, 3 years apart, that one says he needs to work on his physical game and get more aggressive, and the later one says he's got some nasty in him and is more than willing to throw his body around. A clear sign of learning and progress. I like that, shows me a kid who's keen to listen, get better and find what it takes to play with the big boys. Good luck to him.

During our Adams Family Division like season this year two Islanders that have caught my eye are Pulock and Mayfield. Two big RHD men always making their presence known with their size and skating on both ends of the ice. Part of the Bruins troubles against the Isles early on this year was the inability to get the puck out of their own end and when the puck came around the wall on these guys side could rarely seem to get it by either. Hopefully Brady Lyle someday will be our version of this.

I agree but Pulock had a couple of rough nights against us this week.

Players sometimes play bad. More at 11.

I like the new Lohrei/Lyle style of defensemen they seem to be looking for, Big, highly skilled and can skate.

Is Lyle physical ?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Is Lyle physical ?

He's not in Kevan Miller's class but he does play with an edge
Like Tralmarks we need to pump the brakes a bit with him, great find by the scouting staff and he's made the most of his opportunities but the competition he's facing is average at best and the schedule has been very player friendly this year,everyone should keep that in mind
That said, exciting to have a blossoming young Right shot D in the fold

any nasty in him?

Above from Eric says he’s not KM86 nasty but plays with an edge.
