Rangers Roundup: Frolunda interested in Andersson, scouts in Anaheim, and more

Anthony Scultore Updated: Jan 6, 2020

Your latest Rangers buzz today. SHL teams are talking about Lias Andersson. Rangers scouts are out in Anaheim, and Vote Mika continues.

Interest in Lias

We noted yesterday that speculation out of Sweden has Lias Andersson sticking around. This morning several teams have spoken to reporters about interest in signing the 21 year old if the Rangers would allow him to be loaned.

Andersson’s former SHL team Frolunda is the most likely to get him. Freddy Sjostrom who played for the Rangers and has a good relationship with the organization said as much to Gortborgs-Posten.

This is obviously the Rangers just doing their due diligence and it is more likely Nashville that they are scouting. The Predators are looking to bolster their offense and have been in the Chris Kreider for awhile.

Vote Mika Everyone

He's pretty important to our team – and obviously to you.

Just in case you need a reminder of how much Mika deserves to be at the #NHLAllStar Game, watch this little refresher, get chills and then get in your 10 votes for the day. #VoteMika | https://t.co/HF9ddY7hd5 pic.twitter.com/Q8UB7wPhTM
