Sure he gives his all defensively but it’s the offensive ability he has that’s on a whole other level. He showed it again at the start of the year so I have to ask, what’s up? Too much effort to show his offensive ability? What’s the explanation? That’s my only issue with Anderson. I want exciting to watch Anderson otherwise he’s pretty much replaceable

Andersson...replaceable...lol
He's playing the hardest defensive minutes on the team while carrying a partner that has one full season of NHL experience. Only the all-star, perennial norris candidate-level dmen would be able to maintain Andersson's level of play from the first 20-30 games for a majority of the season in that kind of circumstance.
Even then, most of top dmen have a good supporting partner to lessen the load. Makar has Toews, Werenski has Provorov, Heiskanen has Lindell/Harley, Faber has Brodin/Spurgeon, Morrissey has Demelo, Pietranglo has Hanifin, Montour has Oleksiak, Fox has Lindgren, etc.
