CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 They can't give Lias away right now, his stock is that low. a lot of time between now and expansion draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMorganBarron Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Doesn't Staal have a NMC? And also, his contract is up next summer, I think he retires after next summer in all honesty. Tampa signs him 1.75 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 a strong start to his SHL season will help with the trade value. Tell that to Puljujarvi. Almost a point per game in the Liiga and Edmonton still can't move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Tell that to Puljujarvi. Almost a point per game in the Liiga and Edmonton still can't move him. I thought that was more to do with Edmonton wanting too much for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those that feel the ways he's producing in the Liiga aren't conducive to NHL production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 True. Been there done that with Kakko...and Andersson. You're sort of misinterpreting. Puljujarvi's production isn't reflective of all Liiga production. I'm talking specifically the way he's been racking up points. You can play a game in the Liiga that translates to the NHL. In fact, Kakko did. His game there was heavily based on using his frame and a type of physicality that isn't as common there. Puljujarvi doesn't really demonstrate any of that. He's quick and he knows how to fling pucks on net. Unfortunately, a lot of those flung pucks aren't getting by NHL defensemen or goaltenders.

They can move him, their asking price is probably too much. with Andersson I think asking price is a 2nd rounder + maybe some later pick (5th- 7th rounder).

Gravesy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I don't see how Andersson is worth a 2nd + at this point. He's a failed 1st round pick who has done nothing of note in the NHL or AHL. He's done ok in Sweden, but that doesn't really tell you much. Added to the fact that there are obvious questions about his mindset and mental strength, and that the Rangers are desperate to get rid of him. I think the best way forward here is to trade reclamation projects with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 That is assuming he starts SHL season close to point per game or higherThere were 5 players in the SHL that were P/G last year. Only 1 player more than P/G. Lias paced a 41 point season. Right in the company of NHL greats Ryan Stoa and Joakim Lindstr?m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Andersson has almost no value right now. None. And he’s not going to raise it considerably playing over there. At this point, he’s a mistake pick out of a not so good draft who has probably played his last game as a Ranger and has only seen his value drop with little chance of that improving in Sweden. Just move him this offseason. Get what you can. Admit the mistake. Move on. Give the kid a fresh start and end the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
