Recalled/Assigned: Lias to Hartford, Gettinger called up

[Oscar Lindberg]

He was a disappointment the second we called his name, let's be honest here.

That said, we haven't done everything we can to get the best out of him.

I was fine with the choice at the time but yeah in retrospect they should have grabbed Mittelstadt

Despite what people say about him

Eh, even on draft day there’s plenty of players I would’ve taken over Mittelstadt that I would still take over him

Oh I agree

At the time I would have been fine with Mittelstadt/Liljegren/Brannstrom/Suzuki/Necas or Lias

 

[RGY]

Brett Howden is still here.

Someone save us.

 

[mike14]

I don't expect much fro Gettinger, but hopefully he cans how a bit more/be more engaged than he was in his few games last season

 

[CasusBelli]

Oh I agree

So much this. I was especially high on Brannstrom, but he seems superfluous now, considering our newfound defensive depth.

 

[Kupo]

He is a massive disappointment.

Some prospects bust.

This.

Reality is not every prospect we draft or acquire will make it. I have to say we’ve been rather successful with our youngsters this far.

Chytil
Fox
ADA
Georgiev

Kakko is the real deal. Shesty should have a great career too. Howden, ehh. We’ll see. Hajek and Lindgren too.

Even if Andersson flops, it’s still a pretty strong success rate.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Is Lias going to play 20+ minutes in Hartford or be on the 3rd line? Because if he is going to be on the 3rd line then there is nothing good about this.

hopefully Gettinger sticks with the team for good now. We desperately need a player like him on our 4th/3rd lines.

 

[aufheben]

Good luck, kid. Hopefully this is the beginning of the beginning and not the end.

 

[nevesis]

He’s just not that good. This fan base has a hard time coming to this realization.

 

[17futurecap]

He’s a nothing player, hopefully he comes back better, but some of these guys were going to bust unfortunately.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

If he is a nothing player and is not that good, then somebody needs to get fired for drafting him 7th overall.

[Raspewtin]

finally, kinda excited to see Gettinger actually

now send Howden down

 

[JC704]

Somebody gets it. If they swing and miss on Lias, half hit on Chytil, and are 50-50 with Kravtsov, that's not a good look/start. There is also no guarantee Tony D is on this team after this season either. Factor in the McDonagh/Miller trade, that is a lot of dimes for quarters/dollars.

 

[Trxjw]

Still time for him to put it together. Though it's frustrating that of all the guys the Rangers were rumored to like at 7, Lias is having the least success of the bunch. Even Suzuki is looking better right now.

 

[JimmyG89]

These 18 games where Andersson was on the 4th line hurts development. I could understand if he was someone they were considering to get more minutes to, but the moment he was not a viable option for that, he should have been sent down.

If Zibanejad doesn't get hurt, this is something that likely would have happened 3 weeks ago.

I'll be curious to see him get games in where he'll be leaned on by a coach and get PP1, PK1, and 1C minutes.

Getting him with Lettieri and DiGuiseppi would be helpful at the AHL level, since their skill plays there

 

[nyr2k2]

I had hoped that Gettinger would be able to bang in 10-15 goals with 10 or so assists in his good years, but IDK if he processes things quickly enough to do that. He's a big body who will win board battles and dig pucks out of the corner. You can also put him in front, but his net-front game is actually pretty unrefined, so he really just serves as a screen.

All in all, still a great pick considering he is playing in the NHL at all.

 

[LeetchisGod]

If he is a nothing player and is not that good, then somebody needs to get fired for drafting him 7th overall.

My money is on Gordie Clark. It's mind boggling that he is still employed after the McIlrath debacle.

 

[RickChartraw]

He needs to play more. This move was needed. If we took Filip #7 and Lias #19 think there might be less displeasure with Lias at this point. Is what it is, kid needs to play. Right move.

He’s just not that good. This fan base has a hard time coming to this realization.

I'm starting to get the same impression. I looked up his stats in Hartford last year and they weren't that good either.

 

[hpNYR]

What exactly have you seen from Chytil that suggests he isn't a bust? He was called up and responded very well for the first few games and has begun to disappear again. He has a long ways to go still.

His international play was very good and many believed it as an indicator, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Hopefully when Mika is back, Howden joins him.

He has 6 goals and 7 points in 9 games. What more do you want? A goal per game?
