The New York Rangers have sent down Lias Andersson…again. After playing in 21 games this season, Andersson will now be able to play on the top line of the Hartford Wolf Pack.
As Zak mentioned that part of the reason for the demotion is due to Cody McLeod and Jesper Fast returning to the lineup this weekend. There will be two debate topics here amongst fans.
One, the team burned a year of Andersson’s entry-level contract instead of letting it slide. Nobody wants to remember this, but Lias was called up out of necessity. At the time Brett Howden suffered what looked like a gruesome injury, Boo Nieves was still recovering from a preseason concussion.
