Gravesy Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Coworker is into another Rangers website, I think it is more of a blog than a forum. He said there is some talk on that site of a possible trade with Detroit, Lias for Zadina. They need centers and Zadina is stuck in the AHL. Unfortunately I do not have sources, I am just forwarding some rumors that I heard. Take it for what you will. That is exactly the type of trade they should be looking for, if trading him is actually on the table. However, this one sounds fanciful. I don’t think it’s necessarily accurate to say he’ “stuck” in the AHL; Detroit are well known to keep their prospects down there to marinate longer than most. And even if he hasn’t fully lived up to the draft hype, I don’t get the feeling evaluators have lost confidence in him developing into an elite scorer. They would almost certainly have to sweeten the pot significantly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Echoing 31 Thoughts, Yzerman traded for Perlini and Fabbri. He's not scared of a reclamation project. That said, my thinking is...he's also not dumb so wondering why he'd want Lias and not Zadina for Pool Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I feel Quinn is never going to really give him anything as long as he's here. You might as well trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'd hold another year. Our 4th line is awful, and I'd like to see how it shakes out next year, as there doesn't seem to be any change coming immediately. There's better wingers for Andersson out there than Smith/Haley/Mckegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I think you could construct a pretty nice, and cheap, 4th out of Andersson/Howden/Gettinger/Lettieri/Lemieux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Doesn't matter what we think the org as a whole isn't buying whatever it is Lias is selling. Are we going to have faith in JD, JG and DQ or not? Two outta three there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lias Andersson represents the frustration at the front office, at the moment, regardless of which side you are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I’m sorry but I just don’t see the huge deal this has been made into after 60-odd games for a 21 year old kid whose skill set and ceiling was never going to blow the doors off of anyone, especially offensively. He has been not good. He should not have been picked at 7. These are easily observed. Neither of those things or a host of others damn him into never becoming an NHL player of value. And we won’t really know for a while either. We all know what the development curve is roughly for most kids. Give it time. And it’s too early for the “wasted pick” or “needs a fresh start” talk.
