Prospect Info: Lias Andersson

[Vitto79]

Losing Stepan this year stinks but they really needed 2 firsts in a yr

I don't want to rush this kid but if he earns it great

Lias wasn't playing due to an injury but the night wasn't lost. I was wearing a Lundqvist Rangers jersey and Joel Lundqvist noticed and he tossed a puck over the glass during warm ups!

Awesome!

 

[Maximus]

Awesome!

I'll second that as well...good for you....

Amazing- What a bummer on missing out on Lias, but great story on Joel!!

One thing I've noticed from these games is that I've never seen anyone get kicked out of the faceoff circle as much as Lias.

 

[ThirdEye]

He'll play in the 6'0, 205-210 pound range. He's about as pro ready as any kid in this draft.

He's got a similar built to Tarasenko, who is a friggin tank. If he doesn't stick in the NHL (unlikely), it's not going to be for lack of strength

Only real question in lias is will he be a top 6 center.. worst case scenario he's a grade A 4th line center.

Yeah true words @Vitto79, and we`ve JT. Miller as backup if he needs to play a center role this year. I`m glad we did not move him earlier as some fans hope to move him for another piece months ago.

This dude needs a thread for us to keep track of his play with Frolunda. "Prospect Info" thread like Shestyorkin has or use this thread? I vote for the former.
