As even as the rangers deal is, i don't think they take it as Barrie can walk after the 19-20 season.. People have andersson labeled as a bust for his draft position (7th), but they always forget he's only 20.
He obviously isn't as NHL ready as most people thought, but i think people take for granted the true dumpster fire that Hartford is.
So many players look like they are garbage and have looked much better in the NHL (Lindgren, Hajek, and past players like Skjei, McDonagh).
He does need to spend more time in the AHL but why submit him to that horrid team. They really should do an overhaul over this summer for the AHL and make it into a good team so he can be developed further rather that wallow on the fourth line in the NHL. IF they do this, he should be a mid-year call up should they trade Strome or Namestnikov
