Pete Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Again, there is no reason to have hime play 4 minutes a night on the 4th line, he isn't going to gain any experience playing in that spot. Quit already said he isn't going to play top 9 players on the 4th line. He will get more minutes playing in Hartford. Once either Hayes or Zib are traded, he will be on the team. He wasn't sent down because he was bad. And Hayes on the wing hasn't worked yet everytime they tried it. Again, if was the best rookie in camp, that means he's better than Chytil, so why is Lias in the A and Chytil with the big team? He wasn't sent down because he was bad...But he also wasn't kep here because he was awesome. Oh, and that award is voted on by the media...Who's opinion matters as much as the guy who delivers my Amazon Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 But he wasn’t kept in ny because he was to good that they had to make room either. This can go on all day long. Nobody that covers this team is taking him not making the team as a positive. They are saying it’s a disappointment but far from a done deal regarding his future. You can spin it anyway you want but him not making the team is not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen or heard anyone but you say that he was invisible in preseason. Coaches praised him and his play. I can't tel you what made them choose one over the other, Im not in management. I honestly thought he played better than Chytil, but again, I wasn't in the room and at camp to say why. But I also don't think Lias is a bust because he didn't make a crowded center spot on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveIn94 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Speaking of Chytil, he might end up on the wing after all of this if they want to cover up his defensive shortcomings.

siddious Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 While I generally agree with the sentiment, I don?t think we can say that accurately yet.

The Dude Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 he could be effective on the 4th line, but thats not what they want to groom him for. Wait a bit, see if he can develop, if not, sure, 3rd line C Are they expecting elite scoring from him? I fail to see how sticking him on the 4th line in a checking and PK role doesn't pretty much fit him exactly. It's definitely an overreaction to say he's a complete bust. I hated the pick, but I feel he can contribute in a two way role. The role Hayes plays here. But that's how he tops out. 40 point center. Not sure what management needs to see from him. I hope they aren't thinking he's a top line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 https://www.nhl.com/news/lias-andersson-named-winner-of-2018-lars-erik-sjoberg-award/c-300527356 Andersson was voted best rookie in camp, that should count for something. Sent from my Z981 using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Yet Chytil made the team over him and Hajek pretty much blew the doors off everyone in preseason. Howden had a pretty bad pre season and he made the team over Andersson.. How's he get top rookie honors when he isn't on the roster and Hajek was mind blowingly good? Andersson would get more icetime than the typical 4th liner. He could PK or maybe even be put on the PP. Why do I feel like they drafted this kid to instantly replace Lindberg? To me their games look similar. I'm hoping Andersson tops out a bit higher. Hopefully they can move Hayes quickly and open up a middle 6 role for the teams 7th overall pick...

Albatrosss Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 40 point center? Jeez....might as well trade him now for a bucket of pucks and a used stick plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's surely disappointing that he didn't outplay anybody. You didn?t say it, but that?s how it comes across when you say that the beat writers opinion matters as much as the guy who delivers your Amazon. That?s what that implies. The o my people I see saying they are disappointed in him are fans. I haven?t read one legit media person say that he is a disappointment and more importantly I haven?t heard any of the coaching staff or top brass on the team say it, which is more important than salvation any of us, the media or fans have to say. Quinn said that he won?t play guys who are top 9 players on the 4th line, so that is why Lias isn?t playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lindberg and Andersson are both Swedish centers born in October. That's about as similar as they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
