[FLYguy3911]

This is why they stopped drafting undersized defensemen.

Isnt he a flyers legend now already? I mean puck to the face.... nothing more to say...

Player-assistant coach for the Phantoms next season for sure.

 

[Tripod]

If he was a normal sized Dman, it hits him in the chest.

Smol boi

Given he's playing at a high level in his return to the SHL, that bodes well.
On the other hand, he only had 41 SHL games under his belt before this season, and 66 games in Allsvenskan.
Guess we'll have to see how he finishes out the season, a strong push and I think he comes over.

5’9”/183#. Fat Flahr says this guy is too small for the NHL. Need to have Risto size to play this game.

 

[deadhead]

How's his defense?

+/- is crude, but 0 is hard to gauge on a team with mediocre goaltenders, most teammates slightly negative, but another D-man at +11.

Though he's on a tear, last 5g 1-6 7 +5.

Flahr drafted him. And York, Brink, and Tuomaala.
I suspect 2 years after he was drafted, Andrae is more like 5'9 190+.

Speaking of Tuomaala, @Appleyard, have you heard anything? He's been on a goal scoring streak since he went to Metsis.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

As someone 5’9, ~190 in my hockey days, it was always amusing when much taller, slimmer guys would try lining you up. Low centre of gravity made for a bad end result for them. Andrae is not undersized at all and in watching him, he does use this familiar “squatness” to his full advantage.

Him being drafted does not constitute evidence that Fat f*** Flahr and Cuck are open to “undersized” guys.

52.55% Corsi
53.95% Corsi Close
Only top 4 regular Dman with over 50% Corsi.

Poor Andrae. He's going to come over to North America next year and if Schmuck and Nature Boy are still here, they're going to send him to Lehigh Valley for the Laperriere experience and course on how to get ready for the NHL. Laperriere is going to coach all the skill out of his game and teach him how to body check.

 

[Appleyard]

Looked like he would be challenging for 2nd-3rd all time in scoring for age until last 15 games... fell off scoring wise even though played well. But HV71 struggled to score at times.

 

[04hockey]

excited to see him and his potential.....we all know the Flyers need offensive help from their "D"

 

[Doodootheclown]

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Awesome! Can't wait for bad and aging D-men to play over him!

Who drafted him?
Though I suspect by now he's more like 5'9 200.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I don't want to get too excited, but the kid seems like he might be a good one.

 

[Rebels57]

I guess this would officially count as Briere's first contract transaction as interim GM?

 

[blackjackmulligan]

will he be another prospect the flyers "ruin"? stay tuned

 

[Ghosts Beer]

What LHD is getting shipped out this summer? Andrae doesn't strike me as one who will be long for the AHL.

From the sound of Friedman, Provorov is the one who goes and Sahnheim stays.

 

[deadhead]

Andrae will probably spend a couple months in LHV acclimating to NA hockey, then be up around Christmas.
Zamula has the inside track to replace Provorov, he's been logging a lot of minutes in LHV and has impressed Torts.
If Attard is deemed ready, York may move back to LHD.

So I don't think they're worried about replacing Provorov if they get a good offer in June.

revolving door or permanent?

Do you see attard zamula both in the top 6 on opening night? Even if we assume Ivan is traded?

 

[deadhead]

Andrae is not Bartulis, he's played at a high level at each level at a young age, and is off to a good start in LHV.
He may well find it easier to play in NA, the wider ice rewards speed, the smaller NA rinks reward instincts and positioning.
