Time is still on Lias Andersson’s side after a tumultuous career in New York. Now the 21-year-old will get a fresh start with the LA Kings.

Perhaps one of the more underrated moves the LA Kings made on Day 2 of the Draft didn’t involve selecting a draft prospect. Instead, they traded the 60th overall pick in the second round to the NY Rangers in exchange for former 2017 seventh overall pick Lias Andersson.

To say that Andersson had a rocky career in New York would be putting in mildly.
