Pretty sure he can be a 2C in the NHL while producing 50 to 60 pts each year. While playing PK and PP. Just a complete forward. What Horvat is now.
Maybe Lias doesn't have the same raw talent as Bo, but he can do what he's doing now, if the coaches puts him in the top 6 with good offensive players.
Forsberg. Arvidsson
Okay? He still played 70 games in Milwaukee. Plus 17 season after that. You can't say that didn't do anything for him.Arvidsson left Sweden when he was 21. He was already a very good player. Forsberg played 47 games with Milwaukee.

Andersson was picked too high.
Okay? Granlund lit up Liiga and could have been concidered a star. Still had to go through AHL.Did I say that? I'm pretty sure the question was whether the AHL or SHL is better for a players development. Arvidsson was already a star player in the AHL before he even played a game, everyone knew he would score and it's not like he set the NHL on fire after a 55 game AHL season. He took the next step after his NHL rookie season. Andersson is a good example of a player leaving too early, he was 19 coming off a so-so season in the SHL. Very different situation.

Yeah, it does. Just because you are a star somewhere else does not mean you are NHL ready with nothing to learn.That has nothing to do with what I just posted.

Andersson was the 2nd line C on a championship team.
WTF are you talking about?Really? He was 15th in icetime on a team that got eliminated in the 1st round.
WTF are you talking about?
HV71 won the LeMat trophy his draft year, came over after he got hurt with Frolunda.
He's struggled and I don't think he's going to be much better than a dime a dozen low-end third liner
Agreed, I don't get why he was stapled to the 4th line from the get go when he was arguably our best player in the preseason. He looked line an entire new playerI think he should be given a bigger role, the way DQ has managed him has been very odd to me for sure. He's very good potential imo.
Yet was 2C when they raised the trophy.Andersson was a #2 C playing 4th most minutes among centers on HV71 while not always even playing center? Great for him, NHL-ready for sure.
