Quoting: deys3232
I mean, don't get me wrong, Harvey Pinard is a decent player, but he's just not on the same level as Andersson. Andersson is just an awesome player, and it would be a real shame to see him go. I don't think trading him for Harvey Pinard is a good move for the Kings.
MTL isnt trading RHP as outside Dach he's the only one able to breathe life into Suzuki's line without Caufield there.
While he's amazing on 4th line with a mutli goal game then a real stinker in a shutout where he was one of the only one with quality chances.
This earned him the call to top line where he scored 2 goals and provided Suzuki and Anderson a spark for Suzuki's first multi point night since Caufield went on LTIR.
For Anderson it was just the 2nd time this season he had a multi point night after RNH joined them and it snapped a 3 game pointless streak Suzuki/Anderson had going .
When Caufield went down and both became Ghosts
Caufield went down and RHP scored his 1st goal of the season
While others cant seem to step up he's consistently doing so.
To be fair though due to injuries Suzuki lost first Dach when Center Injuries forced him of wing back to Center.
Then he lost Caufield about 10 games after that and is has 1 goal 6 points in 19 games up until RNH joined him .
Plus you dont trade the guy nicknamed "Laval-agher "
He plays just as hard with the same shot in the same package at 5'9 183lbs playing like he's 6'9 240lbs
Plus Lias Anderson doesnt even beat out Teasdale or Condotta for 3rd line Winger in Lavals deep system with skilled Goal Scorer's and Garbage Goal Scorer's in bulk.
We need Playmakers like Turcotte who's on a 3 year decline after mistakenly leaving NCAA after a season and entering into a system to deep to coddle him but instead pushed him from center to wing hurting his overall value and stunting his development.
