Jan Levine: Game 54: NYR-BOS, Original Six match-up loses luster w/ Rangers’ struggles Initial asking price set for Nash and Grabner

a first, a top prospect and another pick or prospect....

No. And he better be a center. I don't need a 7th overall pick turning into a 3rd line winger. I already loathe the Rangers enough. Don't need to add fuel to the fire.

So you want him as a 4th line center, interesting. I would rather have him as a 2nd line winger

You also think Andersson is a bust, so why would you care where or when he plays?

Yes. That way I can say I was right.

What I will say is I have no issue with Chytil staying down and the same with Lias Andersson playing first in Sweden and now at Hartford to aid in their development. Not burning an ELC seems to make a ton of sense, especially where New York is in the standings. But if/when the rebuild occurs at the deadline, call each of them up late enough to avoid triggering the ELC while also allowing the two kids to get their feet wet and know what’s required of each moving forward.

According to reliable source, Lias Andersson will be returning to Frolunda later this month.

Nothing on Swedish sites yet...

"With Kristaps Porzingis now out for the year...."

Who?

Yes. That way I can say I was right.

The Rangers have informed me that no decision has been made on Lias Andersson.

Lias is going to be good. He will surprise us all.

Why would they send him back? Bouncing him all over the place. Doesn't make any sense

Oh ok, I thought this was a prospect or something I never heard of.

Bring the kid up, I don't care about a year on the elc. Give him a taste, go back to Sweden for the summer, and come back for training camp ready to make the big club.

It's the Knicks. Disregard.
- JRR1285

such knicks haters around here

It's basketball.

The first 47+ minutes are useless. Give each team 100 points, have a jump ball. First basket wins.

Ahhh, good to have you back Jim.

The ask for Nash as rental seems very high but Joe Sakic taught us you just need to find one desperate sucker.

Different dynamic at the trade deadline l, but you never know.

Why I hope Lias is a center:
If he's good he adds much needed depth down the middle. At this point I don't care if I'm wrong.

Why I hope he stays in the AHL for bit. I have ZERO faith in this coaching staff.

I don't need reminder about how much I hate you forever for ruining the draft discussion around here last year

it would be nice if we can rationally discuss it as a group this year without you purposely trying to burn the place down, it's gonna be a big one for this franchise this year

You came on a day after the draft happened and I wasn't the only one who disliked Andersson.

If the Rangers draft one of Quinn Hughes, Joel Farabree or Joe Veleno I can tell you right now I will not be a happy camper.

So you think Lias will jump Zib, Hayes or even Chytil for a center spot in the top 3 lines?
