Lias Andersson has made news lately. Following his request for a trade and subsequent suspension (standard protocol), he headed home to Sweden. Lias did an interview over the weekend, and there has been other news slowly leaking out. We shied away from covering it until everything was out, now that we think it is, there are some thoughts.
1. First things first – what was actually said? Andersson is nursing a lower body injury (both feet – can’t get them into skates), so he’s not training. He also mentioned some mental health issues, and it was more important for him to get home to get his mind right.
