It may be worth sending Andersson down for a spell, Nieves can handle that role at least as well as he is right now.

 

Andersson is going to remain quite cheap through his control years, and I still really think you could turn him in to a bottom 6 weapon. He's got years to figure that out.

Let's be honest. It happened primarily because Kakko was out sick.
Well sure.

 

But McKegg, Smith and Andersson all could have moved up.

 

Guess who wasn't moved up...and never is?

 

There has to be a reason beyond "Quinn hates Andersson".

A lack of NHL center depth in the organization? Yup. That's why Howden is 3C and Andersson is 4C.
Nah, this is just smoke.

 

There have been times when any one of three players could have gotten bumped up to the third line. And it was never Lias.

You're right. The team is very deep at Center with Zibanejad out and it's all just a conspiracy to fit your narrative.

 

Zib being out and organizational depth at center have nothing to do with Lias being stuck on the 4th line, but if that's what you want to hang your hat on...If Lias moved to LW on the third line, there are minimum 3 players who could have replaced him on the 4th line for a couple of games.

 

McKegg plays center.

Haley plays center.

 

Could have made a call up.

Nieves

Fogarty

O'Regan

 

There's no overall lack of depth at center across the organization either.

 

Zib

Strome

Chytil

Howden

Lias

McKegg

Nieves

Fogarty

O'Regan

 

We're actually pretty set at center. Team needs wingers if they choose to walk away from Kreider, Fast, Strome, Lemiuex is ideally your 4th line wing and Kravtsov future unclear.

 

You'd think they'd take this opportunity to see what their highly touted #7 pick could do on wing, with less responsibility...But no. It was defenseman Brendan Smith and 27 year old Gregg McKegg who drew the 3rd line LW assignment when it was up for grabs.

 

Remarkable.

Haley just got waived and McKegg wasn't even playing center when he was on the same line with Andersson. If Quinn wanted to move Andersson off center, it would have been done already. So whatever you say I guess lol

Haley was waived today. We're talking about any time this season.

 

McKegg can play center. That he's playing wing now is irrelevant.

 

If Quinn thought Andersson could move up the lineup, that would also have been done.

Sure, but there's nothing to indicate he would move him off center. He clearly isn't happy with what Andersson has showed, nor should he be, and yet Andersson is still the 4C over all those "centers" you rattled off. Tells me he's committed to Andersson as a center in the future if he has one here. By the way, take a moment to reflect on you mentioning Haley as a legitimate center option for this team, even before the waiver news.
