Trade looks like a wash ... they're both busts for their respective
teams. Ivan is at best a 4th liner, Lysell could be more than a 4th
liner with better placement in the Colorado lineup.
We don't really care about that, but the real question is why is his
first name the same as his last.
The story goes like this.
His dad's name is Marek Ivan. Marek and Ivan are common first names in
Czechia, so people often get confused as to which is his first name.
So to avoid this problem for his kid, he named him Ivan Ivan.
