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

[Belial]

Not sure why some people are whining about a really good ahl signing. They're not in a position to be signing an over priced vet at this stage of the rebuild guys. Quit your complaining about every minor move. Geez.

It's our National Sport goddammit!

 

[GrandBison]

Does anyone could tell us why he's not able to translate AHL success in the NHL?

He's a bust. It's not uncommon for high picks not to live up to the rank they're picked in.

However, as fas as the Canadiens are considered, we don't care he busted because he will be a big addition for the Rocket.

Jeff Gorton and Bobrov would like to have a word with you!

This is at worst a player for our AHL team who scored 31 goals in 67 games last year in the AHL.

What is there not to like about this signing?

Doesnt matter. The precedent of ex Bobrov pick and ex Hughes clients is getting a bit boring now. They were also in hard on Smith because of nepotism again.

Nothing good comes out of a circle jerk.

You call Petry for Matheson nothing?

 

[Mrb1p]

You call Petry for Matheson nothing?

Depends what they do with Matheson, if hes our 1D for 5 years only to retire and no team success, because hes not a top pair D, then yeah, its nothing.

 

[Hacketts]

24 still young, was dealing with some off ice stuff, and coming off a very productive year... He still has a chance to make it.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

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

Didn't Jeffrey Gorton draft Lafreniere ?

 

[Mrb1p]

Didn't Jeffrey Gorton draft Lafreniere ?

Yes. And Kakko and Kravtsov. And Chytil.

I'm not gonna be surprised if they'll extend him when his deal's up!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yes. And Kakko and Kravtsov. And Chytil.

No one is passing on Laf, or Kakko.

Kravstov seemed like a good pick.

Chytil just ended up sucking.

That said, not really pumped at the firsts this team has been picking.

Gorton did trade up for Miller though

Theyve been good with Ds, No lie. Schneider too. Jurys still out on Lundkvist, Jones and Robertson.

 

[schwang26]

Will be flipped at tdl if it doesnt work out.

He's for Laval. They aren't flipping him.

 

[MtlSars]

I'm not gonna be surprised if they'll extend him when his deal's up!

Don't get too attached, he will be dealt in the next 2 years for a kings ransom.

PS: I like the move.. a proper 1st line center in the AHL and should we have some injuries or manage to get rid of Dvorak there is an off chance he gets to prove he can play NHL. No risk some reward....

 

[Andy]

If the intention is for him to play in Laval, may I ask what the fuss is all about? Are we at the complaining for the sake of complaining part of the summer?

 

[Belial]

I don't see why they would move him with that sweet deal he's on. But teams will clearly call if he keeps putting up points that's for sure.

Nepotism bla bla... You know the record.

Good low risk gamble. These are the type of players they need for their AHL team. The Gorton connection obviously tilted the balance to make it happen.

Top 10 UFA Signings That Should Exceed Expectations

Even though many teams regret their free-agent signings less than a year later, there are a few moves that are great for fantasy hockey general managers. We all want to believe a player we have in a fantasy keeper league that has signed with a new team will

10. Lias Andersson

It was only five years ago that Andersson threw his world juniors silver medal into the stands. At the time, people were split on what it meant: some thought it was disrespectful, while others thought it would show how competitive he was and would only settle for the championship. Well, whatever your opinion, he has struggled in the NHL, with a career high of six points so far. So why the optimism for the NHL? To start, Montreal head coach Marty St. Louis is great at getting the most out of his young players. There’s also the fact that Andersson should have plenty of confidence after this past year in the AHL. His stat line with the Ontario Reign: 67 games, 31 goals, 59 points, 203 shots, 15 power-play goals and 28 power-play points. He led the Reign in goals, power-play goals and shots, and was second in points and power-play points. He followed that up with two goals and three points in two playoff games. He won’t be a high pick, but the 24-year-old could be worth a gamble in a deep fantasy league.

The reason the habs wanted Smith was because of nepotism, and not because he was ranked as a top 5 prospect? lol

 

[tazsub3]

Seems like a solid deal if it's for Laval and not the big team

Well it’s two way , so yea for Laval baring him forcing them to not send him down , which also would be good lol
