That's great to hear, I just have one question, is he a good hockey player?

No. He can't skate, has no skill, he's a soft Euro. Has no 1st line upside and shouldn't have even been drafted in the first round.

All the kids are doing well.
My youngest is the most work and is unlike any of the others. She’s my adventurer.

I just love the way Andersson plays.
He plays with purpose and he plays to win. He wants it and I believe he’s going to get it.
I still think he could’ve made this team and should’ve. But he hasn’t sulked since going down, he’s owned the situation.
The Rangers are using him in a primary offensive role, and low and behold, he’s producing as a primary offensive player.
I’m not getting caught up in where these kids play at the NHL — line or position. I’m more of a combination type of guy anyway. But this kid’s D+1 and D+2 seasons have been have been great. There is absolutely no reason to believe Andersson isn’t a huge part of our future.

Prospect Report: 10.15.18
"Lias has been coming to the rink with the mindset of continuing to get better every day and he has been playing well as of late. He has done a better job of consistently keeping his feet moving and supporting pucks and, as a result, he's been able to capitalize on his scoring chances. He has been putting in the work, spending time with me reviewing his shifts back, and he has also been doing extra off-ice workouts in the gym." - Hartford Wolf Pack Head Coach Keith McCambridge on Lias Andersson

Obviously not worried yet with so few games, but I hope they don't keep him down when he was nothing else to learn from it. If he's still PPG after 30 or so games you gotta wonder if he's getting anything further out of playing down there.
For now though, really happy that he's producing and seems to have the right attitude.

If he keeps playing like this, he could very well be a November or December call-up. Especially if some of the vets continue to under-perform.
But we'll take it one step at a time.

I'd say a few other guys could be getting a wake up call if they don't kick it into gear --- I'm looking at you Kevin Hayes and DJ Zibanejad.

Oh, he's getting something.
A lesson in determination and perspective.
Nothing motivates success like have been where you don't want to be and always having that memory and experience drive you.
Not that Lias needs it. He's one of the most focused kids I've seen in a long time, I'm just saying...it's fuel for the fire inside.

He's angry he didn't make the Rangers and is taking it out on his AHL Opponents.

I’m in the camp that thinks he should have made the team out of camp; however I understand why he went to Hartford.
Can’t wait till Hayes gets traded; we’ll get a pick/prospect and LA gets his spot on the team.
LA and Howden have the attitude I want this club to have going forward. The sooner LA gets here the better.

I was the other way around. I still believe Lias was a panic pick after missing out on Pettersson and Glass in back to back picks.
