Not that I want to trade Andersson, but Bern has been ahead of his time on some of his suggestions haha
Gotta give the man credit

Gotta give the man credit
I like to think of Bern as less of a man and more of an A.I. prototype that escaped the lab and is living underground.
Well, every single player on our roster, and even some of their homes have been in his proposals.
Except for Lord Kreider and The Synergetic Boo.
Wanted to bump this.
Right now howden is a better skater and PK option and just watch, he's gonna get involved. I think as long as he can hang within the first couple games, he'll get about 15 games to see if he can acclimate and man the 4th line for the rest of the season. They view all 3 of these guys as top6 Cs in the future, right now it's just a determination based off what they think is best for the players development and team needs. Chytil is raring to go, they want him to play center, so he gets a chance at 3C. Then who's better suited for 4C here now. For the team and the players development. Howdens skating/PK and knack for being around the puck, and likely long term deployment at 3C, makes the 4C Job if he can handle it ideal. While Andersson can play 1C down there and get together with all the prospects that are Gonna be on the Wolfpack and create an identity at a level they can really hone their craft
Regarding Ds. Most of it, is what it is, wveryone knew it coming in. There was a need for mcquiad. He will rotate if ADA forces his way into playing. Nashville is up first. I get going with mcquad for that game and not throwing ADA in a position to fail
Remember back when we were trying to get all the Staals, and not desperately trying to get rid of the one we got stuck with?
That was a Carolina thing. I wish we could have made it happen.
Did want Jordan at one point though and we ended up with a misused Eric a few years later instead.

I guess I “accidentally “ missed it, but I am sure it wasn’t for being a bust but rather a four part trade scheme to bring someone to maximize Nieves synergy as 1C.

My thing with Skjei is, he could be a solid defender, but he thinks he's Erik Karlsson. The organization also seems to think he's Erik Karlsson and keeps trying to put him with super defensive partners (as if McQuaid can even play defense, but don't get me started). Skjei would work better next to a risky offensive player who can move the puck.
To be fair I didn't really like Skjei-Shattenkirk, but first of all, AV. Also Shattenkirk isn't really a flashy player at even strength.
ADA would be perfect but they seem to wanna sit ADA for reasons

We are on the same page here. I’d rather have Skjei as a so called second fiddle to a more offensive partner than to be this offensive part of the pair. I just don’t see this much offense in him. Now this is both long term and in the context of the way the Rangers defense is currently constructed. For example, if one of Pionk or ADA played LD then I’d be ok to go back to the “lost” pair Skjei - Smith where Skjei’s role would allow to be more opportunistic on offense.

And the sad irony is that when we finally got a second Staal we misused him, and let the one who could still play leave. and kept the one who is the world's most expensive traffic cone.
Coach has good things to say about our D, and he likes Staal
The real question is, how are you liking the new coach Zucc?
I'm thinking that our 4th line may end up being much more than a 4th line.

Probably unlikely as long as Lettieri is on that line. He's too much of a drag 5v5. We're wasting Namestnikov on that line. Should be Vesey. Well, Vesey shouldn't be on the team, but what can ya do.
Doesn’t bode well for his hairline

Players who make it to the NHL (or even the AHL/ECHL) had a leadership role at one of the teams they played on as kids because they were the best on that team. Even Tanner Glass. Doesn't make them leadership material at this level

Tarasenko needed 3 years to jump to the NHL. Perry and Getzlaf needed 2 (partly due to the lockout but still...). I had this discussion with someone else earlier today who brought up these 3 as examples as to why "Lias is a bust"

The difference between "Lias Andersson cut from team" and "Lias Andersson makes the big club" is very thin. The availability of ice time in the top 9, the glut of capable centers and top 9 forwards is what decided his assignment. All out of his control. He could beat out Vesey for a spot 10 days out of 10 for a top 9 spot. He's still progressing toward being a good middle six forward. I don't think he needs to be defended or lambasted for being in this predicament.
If nothing else, being demoted to the wolfpack while Fil and Howden are with the big club is going to help him Naruto his way to being a better player.
