have you ever meet a prospect you don't over hype?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.
Um, no. Oskars Bartulis did not have the background, pedigree, or anything to indicate he was on the same level as Andrae.so did osars bartulis
I'd take the Buffalo roster, then determine who lacks intangibles and trade them while their inflated offensive production retains trade value. Keep the ones willing to do the work to become winning hockey players.have you ever meet a prospect you don't over hype?
no answer to the other question?
So, we can look forward to a team of feisty smurfs?Easy to understand that Briere loves Andrae's game: short player but skilled puck mover, high compete level, communicating well... see the pattern?
Awesome! Can't wait for bad and aging D-men to play over him!
love the rangersSo, we can look forward to a team of feisty smurfs?
player comparisons always work out no. Vladislav Boulin.Um, no. Oskars Bartulis did not have the background, pedigree, or anything to indicate he was on the same level as Andrae.
Andrae gets compared to Timonen. Who did Bartulis get compared to?
Great reference. Young me had hope for Boulin. Sounded like he was going to be a punishing physical defenseman. LOL.player comparisons always work out no. Vladislav Boulin.
I don't think he's going to be anywhere near as good as Kimmo, but as a type, it's the closest physical and stylistic description to any recent Flyer D. Poor man's Timonen? Andrae is short, built like a fire hydrant, strong on his skates. He is mobile and good with the puck but he isn't the fastest skater in the world.The Timonen comparisons need to die a quick death, it's ridiculous
Thanks. I wish Torts wasn't in his way.Something in the transfer agreement since he’s under contract with HV71 still. He’s either NHL or SHL unless HV71 allow him to play in the AHL.
Why would Torts be in his way? Torts plays young players. And Andrae has the intangibles he likes.Thanks. I wish Torts wasn't in his way.
They are talking him up so decent chance he gets an NHL look.Thanks. I wish Torts wasn't in his way.
Serious question for ya . Do you think he has more potential at the NHL level than Big Z .They are talking him up so decent chance he gets an NHL look.
if you mean big harry zolnierczyk then yesSerious question for ya . Do you think he has more potential at the NHL level than Big Z .
I didn't see much of either last year but I liked Zamula better at the same age. I don't think he's going to get the same chance Andrae will though.Serious question for ya . Do you think he has more potential at the NHL level than Big Z .
Absolutely.Serious question for ya . Do you think he has more potential at the NHL level than Big Z .
