Lias Andersson is a notable Swedish prospect drafted 7th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. Andersson gained notoriety from the World Juniors a few years ago, after he threw his silver medal into the crowd. Since then, it’s been up and down from the New York Rangers to the Hartford Wolf Pack, in a limited role. Today, the 21-year-old center has requested a trade.

First
I hope either the canucks get him or the leafs
Which team would get him first let us know G.i Gio
Great job on the video u are inspiring me to do the same
Busto, busto Lias Andersson…
Anderson future red wing
And I thought Arizona lost the Stepan deal
Oh benning
Come on, who the hell is he to be requesting a trade? The dude hasn't even done anything since the WJs. I mean, come on, give me a break.
First it's the silver medal, now you're requesting a trade? Come on, dude. You're really not making yourself look good, by doing all of this crap. Just shut up and put in the work. That's it. Don't go complaining to management for your struggles. Own up to your mistakes for once, and actually do something.
Trade him to Pittsburgh
Jesse Puljujarvi for Lias Andersson
Maybe he can throw the trade request into the stands
Throwing his career over the glass 😂
As a Red Wings fan, idk if we really afford to trade away anymore of our prospects, and we need our high draft pics as we're going to be a bad team for a long time. Idk who they would want in terms of a roster player, but this is my mock trade:
To NYR: Madison Bowey, Luke Glendening and a 2022 5th round pick
To DET: Lias Andersson and a 2021 6th round pick.
A simular situation to another swede Alex Nylander, drafted high but havent succeeded, a little bit better being traded to Chicago. Maybe this is Lias chance so i can see why hes taking it, probably going to a team like Detroit who can gamble and give him icetime
Benning was correct not to trade down to No.7. Rangers would of picked up Petterson and we’d end up with this silver medal throwing guy.
In all fairness, if Rangers want him to develop to top line centre, they should give him the opportunity to centre Panarin line.
Hey man red wings fan here, keep up the good work, I come to this channel for this time of news over the hockey guy because you go into way more detail and discussion
He sucks
We should try to get him. Buy low and give him a chance.
Great, another talking head. Just what we need… people listening to other uneducated people talking about hockey, or any sports, when they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. Lol, smh 🤦♂️
Is this HUT in nhl 20? How did your opponent swap goalies ? I thought that was taken out
He definitely needs new scenery. Like a good rebuilding team
Diehard NYR fan here. While it's not a good look, Lias is justified in requesting a trade. DQ is a horrible coach. One of the worst i have ever seen. His system is terrible (makes players look worse than they are), his player deployment is terrible, and he plays favorites big time. He is biased against euro/skill players. Lias has never been given a legit chance to succeed, and he simply knows that DQ will never give him a real opportunity. Look at the Kravitsov situation with NYR earlier this season. Same story with the #9 overall pick from the following year. DQ needs to go not Lias !!
Chytil (drafted 21st of the same year) started this year in the minors playing the same role that Andersson has and DOMINATED, earning the callup and hasn't been sent down since. He has put in the work and its paid off, Andersson hasn't. yes his NHL opportunities have been limited BUT that isn't the case in the AHL where it seems his development has stunted. I get why he wants a trade but this isn't all on the rangers at all.
Andersson wasn’t really given a great chance here but he never did anything to earn it. He was also pretty trash in the AHL. Also Nils Lundkvist is our top swedish prospect ❌🧢
Red Wings:
Acquire: Andersson
Trade: Green, 2nd round?
or AA?
There's a reason Andersson only played a little over 3:00 his last game in the NHL… For the second game in a row and several times before that, Lias tipped an easy to save shot from around the blue line into his own net. Lundqvist had had enough and looked like he was going to skate over and break his stick over his head. So for Anderson's own safety, he was sent down to the AHL. Upon his arrival to the AHL he put up a minus -9 in 13 games, which is worst on the team. Two players are tied for 2nd worst in plus / minus with minus -4, but it took them 30 games and 26 games to get there. If Andersson didn't give up and quit by walking off the team and requesting a trade, there's a good chance he would have been sent down even further to the ECHL.
What would you want the Rangers to do, give him top nine minutes? Your logic (is not wrong) it's completely flawled. The Rangers did the right thing sending him down to the AHL and upon his arrival to one of the top AHL teams, after years of having the worst AHL team, which is something that was purposely addressed and changed with much success this offseason… Andersson was the worst player on the team. Andersson has lots of potential, but is in a slump right now and was about to probably be sent down even further to the ECHL. Instead he quit, walked off the team, and requested a trade. And you with little information, take Andersson's side of the argument and say he should have been given top nine minutes in the NHL. That's why all the hockey you will ever to coach or manage, is on a computer game!
anderson for athanasiou straight up
What about Baertschi for Andersson? Since Baertschi requested a trade it's not like we'll have him much longer, and the Canucks have had successful reclamation projects before, such as Baertschi.
Kid is getting top line minutes in the ahl and still isn’t producing anything
Like, always TheBlueShirts having problems with even their top draft choices.
