In any event, it\u2019s clear the pending Group VI unrestricted free agent won\u2019t be re-signing with Ottawa or any other NHL team, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>Lycksell is in his fourth season stateside, but just his first in the Sens organization. A sixth-round pick by the Flyers in 2017, he spent several years coming up through the SHL before signing with Philadelphia in 2021. Philly loaned him back to Sweden\u2019s V\u00e4xj\u00f6 Lakers for the following campaign, where he had a career-best 14 goals and 34 points in 47 games before being brought to North America the following season.<\/p>\n<p>The 5\u201911\u201d winger has been a consistently high-end AHL producer ever since. He averaged over a point per game twice through his four seasons to date and has 61 goals and 145 points in 160 career minor-league games, including 17 points in 25 outings with the Belleville Senators this year. It hasn\u2019t translated into NHL success, though. He\u2019s seen big-league action each year, three times with the Flyers and back earlier this season with the Sens, but only has two goals and 13 points in 52 career games. Being an unnatural fit for a fourth-line role, he\u2019s had some wildly inconsistent possession impacts and hasn\u2019t shown enough to push for a top-six role.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old will now be a Group VI UFA for the second summer in a row since he\u2019s stayed under 80 career NHL appearances. His archetype makes him primed for offensive success in one of Europe\u2019s top leagues in Switzerland, where he should immediately become one of the league\u2019s leading scorers if he transfers there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senators forward\u00a0Olle Lycksell\u00a0is spurning interest from clubs in his native Sweden in an effort to move to Switzerland\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[10520,10519,10521,41,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-14603","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-switzerland","8":"tag-nla","9":"tag-olle-lycksell","10":"tag-ottawa-senators","11":"tag-swiss","12":"tag-switzerland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
