· Yahoo Sports
The Colorado Avalanche signed their latest trade acquisition to a one-year contract on Monday, locking up forward Fabian Lysell for the 2026-27 season.
Lysell, 23, was acquired from the Boston Bruins in a one-for-one trade for Ivan Ivan on June 27. He was a restricted free agent.

Drafted No. 21 overall in 2021, Lysell is hoping to find a better fit with the Avalanche after failing to find a full-time role with the Bruins. The winger spent the 2025-26 season in the AHL, registering 42 points in 57 games.
The Avs brought in several younger forwards this offseason with hopes of at least one of them carving out a full-time role in an otherwise aging lineup.
That includes Lysell, along with Fedor Svechkov, Zachary L’Heureux, T.J. Hughes, and Avs second-year forward Gavin Brindley.
The terms of Lysell’s contract are not yet confirmed, although it’s likely he accepted his $874,000 qualifying offer.
