Dreger: Lias Andersson requests a trade

[GhostfaceWu]

EDM wanted Deangelo,Hajek/Robertson AND Lias for Pulju. HAHAHAHA Holland thinks Bulju is worth that much

Care to actually back up this absurd post?

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

What a time to be alive. Islanders are a top organization and top team in the league and the rangers are rebuilding and having former top10 pick requesting a trade.

Hmu when you guys can sell tickets

 

[Soundgarden]

Tolvanen an option in NSH?

Probably not, no. Tolvanen is trending well for where he was picked, his record breaking KHL season then subsequent fall to earth really screwed with his valuation.

 

[JT Kreider]

This should be the final straw for Gordie Clark, our drafting has been an absolutete joke

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Andersson for Juolevi

Right value (or lack of value) but we have so many defensemen the same age already, so many of them also need or project to need PP time, I can't see it.

I guess I'd be happiest with a lower-profile forward who's trending up but still has question marks, someone like Schnarr that the Devils just got

Literally what he asked for. Why do you think the trade fell through?

 

[Blitz]

Ahem... Paging Mr. Botterill.

 

[Super Hans]

Send him to college until he realizes he only wants to play for NYR.

 

[Heldig]

Realistically, what would the Rangers want in return? What is the position of need?

 

[goonybird]

maybe he'll throw his contract into the stands so the Rangers get more in a trade

 

[Calad]

Realistically, what would the Rangers want in return? What is the position of need?

In order of need:
A Winger with some good scoring skills
A center with some upside
maaaaaybe a LD

I was waiting for this!

If I had photoshop skills, I would have photoshopped him throwing a Rangers logo into the crowd!

Baertschi for Anderson

 

[belair]

Literally what he asked for. Why do you think the trade fell through?

Because NY was offering just Lias and Holland doesn't think that he's good enough. There's nothing that's been reported supporting your post.

 

[Empoleon8771]

No he wants a source for that claim.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Quinn has done a great job with the kids but his treatment of Lias has been unfair. Statistically he hasn’t deserved much but it’s hard to put up points when you were stuck on the fourth line with a random combo of Smith/Haley/McKegg/Nieves/McLeod

Lias was our 2nd best player in preseason but Quinn never moved him up the lineup. He started the regular season off well but then went back to being a black hole offensively. Quinn sent down Chytil early in the year to give him confidence and because he hadn’t earned a top 9 role. Why is Chytil playing top line minutes in the AHL while your 7th overall is stuck between grinders? Lias has never even had a chance to play top 9 or on the powerplay. Don’t get why Howden/Chytil play by a different set of rules under Quinn and get top-9 opportunity when Lias doesn’t. Chytil I understand, he’s been fantastic and is clearly a better prospect/player. Howden hasn’t been better than Lias though yet he’s gotten opportunities with Panarin, Kakko, Kreider etc. along with PP time. Rangers mishandled him imo but part of the blame is on Lias too. I think he should’ve been used as a net front presence and a shooter like he’s always been, rather than carrying a line by himself.

Don’t know how they use him in the ahl but
39 pts in 74 ahl games isn’t any close to impressive

Needs to produce in the minor to show everyone that you belong in the big league

Get rid of Quinn
Young guys need ice time to develop

You can never have too many D prospects when none of them have made the jump yet

Yeah, Quinn has really done so poorly with Chytil, Fox, Lindgren, and DeAngelo. Clearly doesn't know how to develop young players.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Yeah, that's a deal that I thought was fair before the year. Now? Andersson's not even playing well in the AHL right now.

yup. Whatever knocks there are on Puljujarvi he at least plays well and produces against lesser competition

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I would trade him for Puljujarvi in a heartbeat if possible .

I wonder if the Jets would be interested in a Vesalainen for Andersson swap? Chevy might not want to deal with the Rangers anytime soon, though.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No he wants a source for that claim.

I can’t imagine a LHD prospect like Hajek or Robertson was anywhere on Holland’s list. The ask was absolutely Anderson+ but he wouldn’t have wanted more defencemen.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Than produce something from an actual insider proclaiming that.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

You could see this one coming ever since the World Juniors where he threw his silver medal in the stands. Crappy attitude
