Prospect Info: 2017 NHL Draft / Pick #7 - Lias Andersson (C)

[kovazub94]

Why burn a year of his ELC on a lost cause? Same goes for Chytil. Just let them play the year in the AHL and let the contract slide.

Leaving Chytil aside for a moment since there were / are different factors, what would be good reasons for the front office to bring Lias to Hartford at this time if not at some point to give him a shot to be with the Rangers this season?

Because the AHL is a better league than the SEL? To have him in the organization? To have him in NA? To have him playing with players in the organization? So the entire organization can keep better tabs on him?

Of course but these would be the reasons before the start of the season, not in the middle of it

I suppose that's a good point I haven't thought of. But if this team burns a year of his ELC or Chytil's, and then they go and miss the playoffs, I'm gonna be pretty upset.

 

[Fireonk]

They also might not fully like how Frolunda was deploying him and they want him to get time in specific situations he wasn't seeing over there.

Or the injury to his shoulder caused them to be more cautious and want to make sure he isn't playing without their medical staff giving full clearance.

Or they didnt think he was ready for the AHL based on the preseason but based on his recent play think he is now.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I’d call him up after the ASG break. If we are going to play like this we might as well give LA a shot

Sure, give him 7 games at the end of the season. Just enough so he doesn't burn a year off his ELC.

He was getting second line minutes and PP1 usage with Frolunda. IDK if he'll get more in Hartford. I suppose beginning the acclimation to North America is good, though.

No Zboro? And Hartford listed 6 Cs but only 2 RW. Who're on RW?

IIRC DeSalvo plays on the wing. After that it's either Nieves, Fogarty or Fontaine, so I'd guess Fontaine.

Chytil with 2 pts now

How’s lias doing

 

[nyr2k2]

Secondary assist on the OT winner.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Secondary assist on the OT winner.

But did he score it? Bust!

 

[pld459666]

How did he look shooting the puck, handling the puck and overall compete level.

Game one, but it would be nice to know if he was more involved as the game went on. The assist on the GW is nice secondary or not.

Overall impression on game 1?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

This is a Lias Andersson thread

Yes but this way he can passive aggressively criticize Andersson without mentioning his name.

 

[darko]

1 measly assist?

 

[Alluckks]

1 measly assist?

Hard to feed a family with just one assist, boy needs to step up

 

[ZEBROA]

AHL aint a better league than SHL a different league but not better. LA should be fine in AHL when he get the new system and faster pace because of lesser ice to play on.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Well at least we still have Chytil
