When the New York Rangers released their final roster after training camp, there was one notable name missing from the list, Lias Andersson.
The Rangers drafted Andersson seventh overall in the 2017 NHL Draft. They acquired that pick in the trade that sent Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta to the Arizona Coyotes.
Andersson played a part of last season in the Swedish Hockey League with Frolunda HC. He also played in the IIHF World Juniors Championship before finishing the season with the Hartford Wolfpack in the AHL and finally the Rangers.
Now, putting the silver medal incident aside, Andersson had a successful WJC.
