Speculation: Another year of this Bluc **** (The 2024-25 season thread)

Thought that's why you brought him up.

I wasn't being ironic. I actually like him.

Young, well rounded, good size, and has finishing/shooting ability. On the cusp of blossoming.

Lias Andersson throws his silver medal at you

Didn't realize this was the result of the Lias dumpster dive, but not surprising he is blossoming into a player. He is probably going to outscore every single Kings first rounder of the Blake era this season, you almost can't make this stuff up, it's just hilarious at this point.

The Kings wouldn't drafted him though, maybe if he had been a 5'11 or 6' center we could play the what-if game.

And just checked on Lias, playing in Switzerland now, not that I can blame him, that would be an amazing place to live, even if the hockey is behind other places in Europe. But man, top 10 pick to Swiss league at 25.

I didn't hate the Lias Andersson move/idea, still don't, in general. But I DO remember being miffed by it being that pick in particular with how many good prospects were still there

I remember being big on Lohrei (woudln't have gotten him anyway), Jack finley, and basically all of picks 55-58 , wanted them to makea s mall move and get really any of them. Big dropoff right after that until brown label Laf

Either did I. We traded a very low 2nd [60th] for the 7th OA pick as a reclamation project. There was no guarantee they'd have taken Cuylie with that pick either, probably would've taken Simontaival there instead of at 66th. But we did get Laf in the next round, and I;m ok with that.
