Confirmed with Link: Habs sign Lias Andersson 2-way/775k

[crazyd74]

Like Matheson and Dach?

It's like having a hot streak at bat, you're hitting over .300 and then....let's just say that the more reclamation projects you claim the greater the probability of slumping you average.

Let's just hope HuGo are not simply a one trick pony act...

 

[SlafySZN]

People are making jokes but it could be great for the new kids in Laval to play with an actual good AHL player to help them.

 

[phillytennis]

Evans is proven to be unproductive...next one up...maybe Anderson or a guy like Maxime Comtois.

 

[hvac412]

It's kinda getting pitiful the more and more reclamation projets with take on....

 

[SwiftyHab]

Is this the new Barginbin 2023 version?

 

[PeteWorrell]

Even signing depth players for free is criticized now. Something that every team in the league does...

 

[Runner77]

In before @Habs dubs him a “soft Euro”.

 

[DesmondDekker]

Dude put up good numbers everywhere except the NHL. What’s holding him back?

He never got to be coached by MSL. Apparently that’s key for him exploding offensively in the NHL.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Three pages into this thread and not one mention how Andersson is 6’1.

We're evolving.

Well if we bat .000 on the reclaimation projects we pay nothing for, and .750 on the ones we gave up assets for, I'd say we're doing well.

I'm actually still disapointed we missed out on Valimaki and Tolvanen...

 

[Guess]

Like the signing.
Worried about the lack of leadership though, hopefully there is a replacement for Belzile in that department.

 

[ArtPeur]

We wouldn't be getting Kravtsov with the 1st pick either.

The point would be moot.

Most people were arguing that Michkov would probably stay in Russia for a long time (at least 3 years). Kravtsov did exactly that. It's not about the price, it's about the argument.

 

[Michoulicious]

He had a really good year offensively in AHL, so this helps Laval and will provide some 4th line center depth when Evans inevitably gets injured.

*Evans and Monahan and Dach get injured

 

[HuGort]

I hope this isn't the culture Hughes was talking about at draft

 

[JianYang]

It's kinda getting pitiful the more and more reclamation projets with take on....

It's been the common theme with HuGo from the start when you look at their most notable deals.

Dach
Monahan
Newhook

I don't quite put lias on the same boat because I think the plan for him is to be a key laval cobtributor with spot call up duty.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Even signing depth players for free is criticized now. Something that every team in the league does...

It's always been the case on this forum. I assume other fanbases are the same. it's dumb. Not every signing is to find a point per game player.

 

[Runner77]

I hope this isn't the culture Hughes was talking about at draft

“Lias’ flicking motion toward the stands is the mark of a winning culture. It’ll serve him well whenever he’s named first star and has to fling pucks to fans.”

All teams have those in the AHL.

Hopefully it's not the quantity versus quality approach.He's probably just low-cost tinkering for now hoping to hit a home run but I think within one or two years when we're closer to being competitive and dumping some bad contracts he'll hopefully be more aggressive.

 

[Team_Spirit]

A lot of spicy hot takes over a 2 way deal

The HFHabs special

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[JoelWarlord]

The snark about "reclamation projects" is dumb. It's a two-way deal for him to be our AHL 1C, Laval needs a ringer for all of the forwards we're going to have coming through the system. Sure, there's probably a bit of hope he could maybe play in the NHL bottom six but this is really just a generic AHL/two-way deal for a good AHL scoring F.

 

[salbutera]

Egocentric - chucking WJC silver medal into the crowd, TELLING NYR he deserves to be part of the team.

Hope he’s matured…

 

[GrandBison]

Is there another Gordon/Bobrov fail available so we know who we sign next?

I suspect they will hire Hugh Jessiman

 

[sandviper]

What happened to “culture?” Isn’t he a massive a-hole?

I dunno... Anyone willing to give unsuspecting fans free medals has got to be a pretty swell guy.
