He is, of course, in regards to his offensive side, so why have the Oilers not seen this side of him yet ?? He's been on a very short leash to say the least compared to others
Lander put up 8-5-13 in 19 games with AK Bars Kazan to help lead his team to a Gagarin Cup win over CSKA in five games.

I personally think Anton would be a solid 4th line center in the NHL. Good hockey IQ, smart, defensive player, great penalty killer.
I was disappointed when we lost him. He's always been a high character guy. But when his offensive game never translated, you can't really blame a guy for going somewhere where he can make more money, play in a higher offensive role and win championships.
Happy for Lander. Always cheered for the guy, and was so excited when Nelson took over and it looked like Lander was finally going to show some offense to his game.
Guy is a leader, and definitely a give it all every shift kinda guy. Not surprised he's finding success elsewhere.

He is the exact type of guy the Oilers need for pks and important faceoffs and Mclellan didn't even really give him a chance. 5 on 5 and pk I'll take Lander 10/10 times over f***ing useless Letestu.

Rebooting myself
Game winning goal + empty netter in game 4 of the series. Beauty GWA in game 5.
Playoff beast.
Lander will stay another season in KHL, and then try his luck in NA again. If EDM has the luxury of being able to give him that 2nd chance I'd be thrilled, but I doubt it.
