That same guy on Twitter threw together some other clips of Lias’ game today. First time representing Sweden at the senior level.
Absolutely. That they allowed a promising prospect out of his contract for his own well-being is great. And they didn't just loan him out--they actually let him go and do whatever he wanted and needed to do to get right.Extremely proud of the organization. Players health and general well-being always should come first.
He's the same age Crawley and younger than Virta, both of whom we just drafted in 2017. We released Kovacs at the age of 20. Seems a bit premature. Maybe he grows more mature with age? Why give up on a kid before he can buy a bottle of beer legally in the US?
Kid was involved in a brutal car accident. That'll mess with anyone's head and mentality. Wanted to go home to recoup. I don't blame the kid for that decision.
NYR let him go, unfortunately, but it is what it is. Maybe he'll come back, maybe he won't. No leads, ATM.
He is no longer Rangers propertySpeaking of Kovacs
After buying out his contract does that mean we lose his rights?
Heatley killed Snyder, then had a great career. If I'm Gorts, I pick up the phone and find out how Kovacs is doing. Maybe he wants a PTO for the preseason. If he does well, we give him a contract and loan him back to Lulea. Next season after (2019-20), let him try to make the Rangers and stick in Hartford for a midseason callup. If he does well in the 2018 preseason. If not, it's a US vacation for him.
Rangers also let go of Stromwall, too, and he had a decent season in Liiga.

Yeah he's a great follow.To anyone that doesn’t know of Alex Nunn, he’s a really good follow. NYR fan but also knows his prospects

That's fair, but I said that this can happen only if Lias and Howden become quality 2C/2C players. Zib is good, but he's not a center who wins the Cup as a 1C. But if adding some combination of Chytil, Lias, Howden and Nieves as our 2C, 3C and 4C makes Hayes expandable, he could be packaged to upgrade Zib to a better 1C.
Nunn's Twitter handle is @AJ_Ranger, and that used to be a poster here. I don't know who he is now. I can't keep track of the name changes.Nopuckluck is Alex Nunn. You can easily tell by how they like European players, especially Russians.

Please don’t enable TurgePurge. I can’t handle anymore elaborate ruses.Sorry my post was on ludicrous mode.

Only thing worse was the dude who claimed that his brother was on the Russian WJC team and then masqueraded as a cop in Dallas after the shootings.
IDK something about SKA makes me feel like they'd be a wild-card NHL team. They would rip Arizona a new one.Liiga is worse than the SEL. According to Ola who follows the Scandinavian leagues, the worst teams in the SHL are roughly where the best teams in the Liiga are, which is kind of how I'd describe the difference between the NHL and the KHL. Stromwall was a second liner in the Liiga. Kovacs was a first liner in the SHL. Big difference. I really don't see how being a star in Allsvenkan vs being a bad AHLer vs being a second liner in Liiga is that much different. Malte seems to have hit his plateau, just bouncing around different leagues performing as expected. Malte will enter next season as a 24 year old, so his progress can be expected to be very marginal from now on, if any progress is to be made.
Kovacs is 2+ years younger. That matters a lot. Kovacs is 21 until Thanksgiving and should realistically have at least 2 years of fairly rapid development and another 1-2 years of marginal development. Going from not being able to play in the SHL one year to holding up in the AHL the next is an improvement. Going from a bottom-6 guy in the AHL to a first liner in the SHL is a big improvement. So far, no signs of a plateau, which is what you'd expect of someone who only got the right to buy beer in the US during this season. How bad could a preseason PTO hurt?
Sean Day has a goal, 4 shots and is +4. He has 3 goals in 10 playoff games after having just 5 goals in the regular season. Day has always been a playoff performer.
I just saw his breakaway goal. Guy is so skilled I just don’t know how he isn’t a star player at the nhl level. He literally has it all. At worst he can play wing for me anyday.
The hurdle for Day has really always been a mental thing and how he sees the game. He has the physical tools.I just saw his breakaway goal. Guy is so skilled I just don’t know how he isn’t a star player at the nhl level. He literally has it all. At worst he can play wing for me anyday.
