Been fun seeing these guys do well in north american style rink. Now lets grab a few more in a very good 2018 draft. 3 more preferably in round one.

But it wasn't the game winning goal so it's basically another secondary point haha

Sick dangles in juniors or college are more important than professional production.
Can't underestimate the production... the difference between a league like the OHL/WHL and AHL is about the size of the sun

He's doing all this as a 19 year old, after playing in the CHL and SHL earlier this season.

Am I crazy or does it look increasingly like the scouts knocked this first round out of the park? Two players in the AHL this early at all is great, both hovering near ppg is insane.
Granted that the sample size is still miniscule, but you can't ask for better if you're tying to rebuild on the fly. It typically takes draftees 2-3 years before they even sniff the AHL

Lias played on a championship team last season and he wasn't a passenger either. That's a good indication and probably what convinced our scouting staff

His IG story shows he is in NYC.
FWIW, Wolf Pack don't play until Friday. Could be just the team giving everyone a break before back to practice.

Possible incoming trade and they just haven't done it on paper? Or Halverson going back down and they want to give Lias a shot.

The NYR don't practice until Wednesday...so maybe he is just taking in the city on an off day....

Mr. Preachy
Yeah, that was my thoughts as well. Wolf Pack don't play until Friday, and probably won't practice until Wednesday or Thursday (their game is at home), so it makes sense that he's in the city...call-up or not.

Chytil is at 0.79 ppg and Lias is at 0.75 ppg. Still crazy that these two kids have done this in their D+1 years

Unless Lias is getting a quick look for a game or two I don't see him getting called up now. Maybe for the last 9 games of the season. They aren't burning a year off his ELC for nothing. Team even went on record saying as much.

After the deadline, where we trade Zuccarello, McDonagh, Holden, Desharnais, Grabner and Nash, I can see Chytil, Lettieri, Andersson, Nieves, Tambellini Gropp being called up. The 2 slide-risk contracts no more than 9 games though.

Lettieri-Andersson/Tambellini-Fast
Vesey-Nieves-Holland

As inexperienced as that team is, I can enjoy seeing these kids get a shot and show what they can do in some meaningless games.

As a fan watching the old faces playing bad waiting for a trade to a contender and just dogging it around is much worse then looking at some fresh faces getting (even thu they are worse players) their first games in the big show. The new guys may never be full-time NHL'ers, but it gives us fans something new to follow and cheer on. During a rebuilt it will be our young guys progress that makes me turn on the games, not our hunt for a play-off spot.
