Give me a break. There is no equal "opportunity" clause in the labor agreement, is there? Why stop at comparing himself and his opportunities to Howden? Why not expecting to be given the same opportunities as Strome to center Panarin? I mean Andersson is as much of a top-10 pick, no?
The "undesirable" situation is fully on Andersson for dogging it first on the 4th line (IMHO) and then again when he was sent to Hartford before voluntarily deciding to leave it to return to Sweden in the middle of the season.
I’m not excusing Andersson in any way. He showed a disappointing backbone in the face or adversity. I’m arguing that it was still worth creating equal opportunity among underperforming players. I think if we did, we wouldn’t be in the situation we are now with a critical prospect outside the circle. Asset management was more critical than winning during the debacle and we failed miserably in that department with Andersson.
I can understand disagreement on the topic.
