That makes it 9 points in 11 games and the first of those games he got VERY limited minutes as he hadn't had much practice time with the team.
So really it's 9 points in 10 games

what if Lias Andersson is just proving that he can play in Europe but not consistently well enough for the game in North America? what if his trade value gets lower because of his success in Europe and lack of success in North America?
The only thing I'll say on that is that as soon as he left here he was going to get fitted for custom skates because his feet werent right so if that's been bothering him for a while it was probably holding him back, so he should understand why a coach would be less inclined to play him if he wasnt able to perform the way he should.
Not a huge fan of the VK pick either . Was he really BPA ????serious question, what does Gordie Clark have to do to get fired? because Andersson should be the pick that does this with better players on board, I don't believe for a second, when they did not have 1st round picks, that they couldn't find NHL talent in the draft. heck if you have a great scouting staff, you can find talent in every single round of the NHL Draft.

God forbid you criticize the great Gordie Clark around here. The man is a genius.serious question, what does Gordie Clark have to do to get fired? because Andersson should be the pick that does this with better players on board, I don't believe for a second, when they did not have 1st round picks, that they couldn't find NHL talent in the draft. heck if you have a great scouting staff, you can find talent in every single round of the NHL Draft.
I don't disagree with the idea that he's gone, but I do feel like JD would be the last guy in the world to move on from a kid because JD felt the kid was acting disrespectful or immature.KHL bound eventually. i just do not see an NHL player in there. hes too slow and plodding for a small guy.
my gut tells me his time here is over. the way he treated JD and all the other nonsense, i cant see any way where he comes back here.
this organization, or any for that matter cannot have 19 yr old kids acting like this and then returning back like nothing happened.
its stings for sure but best to move on from the lias andersson experiment.
it failed.
The Brett Howden Experience still blows my mindYa the Lias thing took on a life of it's own for personal reasons. Lots of disingenuous evaluations to me. I still have no problem standing on the hill that he's a player with upside. We could talk hypotheticals all day but end of the day he's a guy that got 10 minutes a night with non NHLers. When we see him sink or swim getting 14 minutes a night with NHL talent than I'll change my opinion on him
He had a really bad year last year at Hartford and the team stunk overall. He really showed no improvement which was a leading indication of what was ahead. He is just not a good skater.Meh he’s already proven he can play in that league snd in the AHL . I hope it raises his trade value . At the NHL LEVEL I think either he’s a FAST type wing / PK GUY or a 4th line center . The pace just isn’t there and I don’t buy into DQ hating the kid . As bad as guys Hate on a guy like McKegg he’s much quicker on the puck and forecheck then Anderson . Same can be said for PDG . I hope this increases his trade value , time to move on from this guy .
Howden , can Pk , can hit can block shots AND plays with NHL pace . He’s a far superior player then Lias Anderson . All LA has going for him was draft position . Howden is no great prospect but he’s better then LAThe Brett Howden Experience still blows my mind

If JD wants to move on from Lias it's because he either doesn't think Andersson can be successful, or doesn't think he can be successful here. I don't think the whole "He mistreated JD!" thing will factor into it at all.
Brett Howden is Tanner Glass if Tanner Glass wasn’t slow as shit. He sucks.Howden , can Pk , can hit can block shots AND plays with NHL pace . He’s a far superior player then Lias Anderson . All LA has going for him was draft position . Howden is no great prospect but he’s better then LA
Then what’s Lias Anderson ?Brett Howden is Tanner Glass if Tanner Glass wasn’t slow as shit. He sucks.
guys, we all should have seen this coming. Lias wins silver medal. tosses it into the stands. Lias "wins" second line center, tosses chances into the abyss. Now that he's shown he can score points, I wish Holland would just pull the trigger on Lias for Poolparty so we can all move on to new threads.
I wanted VK and Brady Tkachuk. I hope Rangers look for a few Tkachuk or Kreider types in the draft up front. enough with the finesse soft forwards. Rangers have those.Not a huge fan of the VK pick either . Was he really BPA ????
