He'll be a good middle line player for you who will pot some goals and maybe be an assistant captain. He can be a winger or a center. He's got heart but he's very impatient and immature. He didnt make the team last year and went home crying. Then he said there was hazing in the clubhouse and all this stuff about feeling lonely and being depressed. By a lot of accounts he's kind of an asshole. He's the kid who threw his olympic silver medal away. Some see that as great some don't. The trade will energize him. But he's a good player and played well in Sweden. He was just never the 7th overall pick. He's not that kind of player.
This is a 22 year old kid who hasn't grown up mentally yet. That can be fixed a lot of times. It isn't like he is 26 and hasn't even begun to see the light. We gave up a low 2nd to get him. Hardly much of a risk. Maybe in a new market without the NY spotlight on him for being such a high pick will help him. When you are a #7 overall pick in NY, you are expected to be a God and anything less makes you a pile of trash. I am not saying that high expectations aren't warranted but LA has less of a heat lamp on players and they are rebuilding so maybe he will be able to relax and restart his career here.
If not, then not much was lost in taking the shot.
I mean, we will have some crazy centermen dishing out some insane passes for years to come... Maybe this kid can find success with one of them...
I mean this is a low risk trade. I remember him throwing his medal into the crowd at WJC and to me its just that he's hyper competitive, but maybe needed some time to grow up a little bit and probably needs to harness whatever frustration he may have and turn it around into a positive.
Was it Futa or Yanetti? One of them was talking about taking a chip on your shoulder and turning it into a positive instead of a poison.
Must be something about crowns/kronor.Swedish invasion in the last 400 days - go 500 days back and add Grundstrom too.

I hate this trade if it’s true he left because he didn’t get his way. That is tough to coach out of someone...
Good down low on deflections, rebounds and scoring dirty goals. Critics (angry NYR fans whose team bungled his devleopment) will say "Can't skate". It's not a strength but it's not that bad really. Good head, good effort, scores garbage goals around the net and is decent on faceoffs.
Anderson plays the puck up the wall to Andersson, centers to Anderson-Dolan, back to Anderson at the point, shot! Tipped in front by Andersson, REBOUND! ANDERSON-DOLAN!
DAGGER!
