Thought this was somewhat interesting. Highlighted players are Andersson, Chytil and Howden. Nice resource for prospects fancy stats and projections here: Prospects and Draft

Does anyone think Andersson is top half of the first round in a re-draft?
Yup.
Can I know what players would be in that top half?
No way he's ahead of: Hischier, Patrick, Heiskanen, Pettersson, Glass, Mittelstadt, Necas, Thomas, Chytil
I think thats an agreeable nine that anyone would agree to.
I also think Rasmussen, Vilardi, Suzuki, Brannstrom, Valimaki, Liljegren, Vesalainen, Poehling, Frost, Jokiharju, Tolvanen are ahead of him.
Is in unlikely that the reason is that the Rangers have 3 better centers already on the roster and they'd rather him be the #1C in Hartford than the #4C [or winger] in the NHL? I don't know, I feel like people may be reading too much into it; the season didn't even begin yet.Here are two things that can be true at the same time:
1. Andersson is not a bust
2. It's disappointing that he didn't grab an opening night spot on the roster in his D+2 year when he was heralded as being closer than his peers on draft day
I think it's a perfectly reasonable explanation, but I'm choosing to believe that the NYR FO is at least a little disappointed that he didn't grab a spot this year. Which is just the way I'm interpreting things, and doesn't mean it's true at all. Someone could just as easily interpret the opposite, and we can both feel fine with our analysis. No wrong or right here, unless you're taking an extreme spot on the spectrum like: "Andersson is definitively a bust now" would be a bad take. Just like "there's no way Andersson will ever bust" would be an equally bad take.Is in unlikely that the reason is that the Rangers have 3 better centers already on the roster and they'd rather him be the #1C in Hartford than the #4C [or winger] in the NHL?

It’s definitely not certain that Mittelstadt would go before LiasThat’s an interesting thought on where Lias would go in a re-draft
I can say with certainty that Hischier, Patrick, Heiskanen, Pettersson, Glass, Mittelstadt, Chytil, Makar, and Tolvanen would go before him
Once you get by those guys it kinda comes down to preference
He’d probably be around the 12-17 area, maybe early 20’s
I would be willing to bet a decent amount he does.It’s definitely not certain that Mittelstadt would go before Lias

I know it’s the Ranger fan thing to **** on Mittelstadt, but he’s seen around the league as an elite to franchise prospect right now.
Whether or not he lives up to that billing remains to be seen. But that’s a different conversation.
But I have no doubt he’d be taken ahead of Lias at this moment
Yeah I would agreeI'm not trying to be negative, but if we're being completely honest with ourselves, there's exactly one fanbase in the NHL that takes Andersson over Mittelstadt right now.

Pls stop, Mittelstadt is literally amazing (even though his production in college was incredibly underwhelming for a “franchise” level prospect but we’ll ignore that because he’s flashy)Oh for ****'s sake. How about this, someone make the argument that Lias didn't have one of the better D+1 years from the 2017 draft. 2nd in the SHL among scorers in his D+1 year behind Elias Petersson, dominant WJC leading his team with a busted shoulder, and 6th in the AHL among U20 players.
Most of the things you're saying in your post, the people here don't watch, as much as they like to pretend they do. What they know of Lias is what they saw at least year's WJC, last year's NHL games, and this year's preseason. That's it. Besides the WJC, which was now nearly a year ago, most of those other things (meaning the things people have seen, his NHL games last year and preseason this year) have been pretty underwhelming, and that's the foundation of a lot of analysis that you see.Oh for ****'s sake.

How has his SHL and AHL play last year been underwhelming?Most of the things you're saying in your post, the people here don't watch, as much as they like to pretend they do.

I'll continue to enjoy watching a few people (not you, Mac), blow up every time someone brings up CM, though. ****ing relax, everyone.
See edit. English is hard.How has his SHL and AHL play last year been underwhelming?
Edit: unless I'm misreading your post. Disregard if so.
There’s also one fan base that would have him in the top half of the first round. Andersson was a mid first round player at the time of the draft, and he’s not improved his stock since.
