confirmed: Rangers Trade Lias Andersson to LAK for 60th Pick in 2020

There is also communication with the New York Rangers about former seventh overall pick Lias Andersson. Things have not worked out for the Swedish forward and the Rangers are looking to recoup a solid second-round pick for the player.

 

The Hurricanes have two second-round picks 41st and 53rd overall and they are proving to be attractive commodities. If Andersson tops out as a third-line player given the talent already in place in Carolina then what is his value to the Hurricanes?

 

And what if you end out missing out on an impact player in the second round – and there will be some – for a player that has a limited upside, Dundon wonders aloud.

 

The possible deal expands to include a couple of other parts, but ultimately the Hurricanes decide the fit isn’t right and Andersson ends up going to the still-rebuilding Los Angeles Kings for the 60th overall pick.

Andersson was nearly dealt to Carolina, apparently.
