It appears that the New York Rangers have not given up on Lias Andersson. The Rangers announced on Sunday that the organization has agreed to loan Andersson to HV71, a team in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
Andersson played 17 games earlier this season with the Blueshirts. He was sent down to the AHL and appeared in 13 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack before deciding to demand a trade and walk away from the club.
President John Davidson doesn’t want to give up on the young player, and this agreement seems to be an effort to bridge the gap in resolving a tender situation.
