Sort of agree.
There's a sizeable gap in skill between andersson and the group. I think Andersson has everything you need to be a top 4 defender in the NHL except for skating.
He's the worst skater of that group and I feel like I'm seeing him routinely exposed for it.
If that's happening against castoffs and AHLers, I don't think it bodes well for playing against, say, the real sharks team.
Kulak brings the same thing basically every shift. For a #6 guy, that's probably the most important quality to have.
I think Kylington has the inside track on Andersson because the pace of play he has to game is much higher. He looks like he has less skill than andersson, but his skating is effortless.
