Dreger: Lias Andersson requests a trade

[MagicalRazor]

Andreas Johnsson ?

 

[Dr Quincy]

Thank you for making my point. Established players have made a bunch of money and often have long term contracts. They can afford to not play if they dont want to. Guys who are fighting for a spot on the roster dont really have that luxury. Im not saying its right. Just that its reality.

Alexnader Khovanov... a top prospect on MIN who because of a dearth of Cs on MIN had a shot to make the team next year or at least be a call up..... has asked for a loan to stay and play a year in the KHL (he was already in NA playing in the QMJHL). Nils Lundqvist... highly prized NYR D with a shot to play on the team or be a call up... staying in Sweden.

Dude, it's a different world right now. Guys are going to stay in Europe until things get sorted out here. "Pride" and "Fight to make the team" is fine and dandy but who knows if games are going to be played or what kind of poop show will happen when they try.

 

[themelkman]

I cant see any team paying more than a third for him

 

[Dr Quincy]

How does a Lias Andersson thread turn into DeAngelo in the OHL 6 years ago thread?

 

[bernmeister]

Shocked this thread still going.

He's gonna be a freebie throw in to somebody.

Dylan Gambrell + 3rd ?

 

[bl02]

Dylan Gambrell + 3rd ?

I know he had a tough year but he is a point per game guy in the AHL. Does he play the type of game to be a very effective 4th line center?

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Lias for Puljujarvi
Lias for Mittelstadt
Lias for Juolevi
Lias for Borgstrom

 

[MisterT]

Lias for Puljujarvi
Lias for Mittelstadt
Lias for Juolevi
Lias for Borgstrom

Rangers add to each of these.

 

[Nucker42]

This is right up Jim Bennings ally. He love reclamation projects and Lias and EP were a great fit together. I wonder what they would want from the Canucks?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Rangers add to each of these.

But they won't.

Lind would fit NYR need on wing, i realize he is valued on by 'nucks HO and fans,
these 2 could be core of packages in each direction

 

[Der Jaeger]

Buffalo fan still offering Pekar for Andersson.

 

[themelkman]

I would do Gambrell for Anderson. Both are probably bottom sixers at this point

 

[Flameshomer]

Lias Andersson for Mark Jankowski?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I know he had a tough year but he is a point per game guy in the AHL. Does he play the type of game to be a very effective 4th line center?

He plays the exact opposite type of game.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Lias Andersson for Mark Jankowski?

Not sure the Rangers do this. Jankowski will need a contract and a raise. Not the sure the Rangers are willing to do that for a guy who likely would be the 4C on the team.

Yeah I am dubious as well, but I think LA's value is less than a 2nd pick but more than a 3rd. Hence my suggestion of Jankowski, which is a known 4th line centre at least with potential to grow into a good 3C role.

He has fallen out of favor in calgary but I think he could thrive again somewhere else.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lias Andersson for Mark Jankowski?

I'd be on this.

 

[Kocur Dill]

Buffalo fan still offering Pekar for Andersson.

All you had to do was ask.

Would love Pekar.

Lind has developed within the system and is starting to show the skill that had him ranked as a first rounder in his draft year. He has improved each year in pro and has worked on those areas of his game that the Canucks have asked him to. Andersson has a history of questionable or selfish behavior and a lack of interest to develop in the AHL - I wouldn't trade Lind for the Rags headache.

 

[Cygnusx1018]

Lias has 0 value rn

 

[VanJack]

This is right up Jim Bennings ally. He love reclamation projects and Lias and EP were a great fit together. I wonder what they would want from the Canucks?

Juolevi and Lind might get it done. But Canucks would probably need some kind of sweetener to take on Lias Andersson...maybe a mid-round draft pick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I would do Gambrell for Anderson. Both are probably bottom sixers at this point

So, you're taking a Gambrell on Anderson ?

 

[effen]

I'd be on this.

pls no
