Have been disappointed with him so far. He's known for his IQ and sound defense but it seems he's been getting lost a lot on defensive end and hasn't made too much happen offensively. Hopefully just feeling things out and will get up to speed shortly

What were your expectations of you're disappointed so far? I'm honestly curious.

He's getting caught too deep in the defensive zone and missing his assignment on the point too often. Maybe its because he's used to playing center? I think he's still adjusting to the speed but he's gotta play better defensively if he wants to stay up

His offense is a work in progress and don't expect much on that end right now. Even though he took those two penalties vs MTL, I think that was his best game overall. I like that he drives towards the net and looks for deflections/rebounds. The last couple games he's been quiet though

I know. But if he wants to stay up as a 20 year old or not be on the 4th line, he's gotta play better
 
Howden has surpassed most expectations from a point production standpoint, and what Pionk and ADA have done has been more special than we realize.

But the downside is that it creates the expectation for more eye-catching numbers for other young talent. In this case, it’s created the expectation for Chytil and Andsersson to put up points.

But I don’t think that’s inherently the best barometer for success when it comes to our two youngest NHL players. I don’t think we can hold them to quite the same expectations.

I’m more focused on whether they look out of place and whether they are getting more comfortable. Not flawless by any stretch, but comfortable. For the most part, I think both guys have looked at least fairly okay. But I’ve never quite felt that either guy looked out of his league or like he couldn’t hang — even if the numbers weren’t leaping off the page.

I agree expectations are raised because of successful rookies. Not just our players but McDavid, Matthews, Petterson, Barzal, etc. People see how well they play and expect our players to follow similar success or develop a lot quicker without realizing these players are the exception not the norm. Especially someone like Andersson who was picked 7th overall.

I don't think I expect too much of Andersson right now. I just want him to be smart and play sound defensively while chipping in on offense with a smart play here and there

we should have left him in Hartford to continue to play well and develop. no reason we couldn't bring up Holland or Fogarty to play 8 mins on the 4th line. should have left him alone. was really playing well. having said that. he's in Howden's rear view and probably always will be. He's passed him on the depth chart. He's going to end up a third line winger here. its fine I've come to terms with it. he's a nasty player to play against and I think he's the type that steps up in playoffs wears a C the right way and will put up some points. prob a legit 40 pt winger with intangibles.

I'm teaching and getting my masters. I'm completely done.

It's so hard to transition from student to the guy in front of the room 5 minutes later.

Thanksgiving will be a needed recharge.

Glad I'm not at that level yet
I have 2 10 page papers and two presentations all due in a span of a week so that's ruined my sleep schedule
