The fact that Andersson wants to bet on himself and play out this year in order to get better a better contract, tells me all I need to know about his drive and competitiveness.
Will his game hold up long term? That's a different question, and that is what Sandman was originally asking. We'll see. But I don't think his attitude will be a problem.

I wasn't suggesting that I think his attitude was going to change, I have little doubt about that.
But his hockey skills may have started declining. And maybe they were injury related, but I believe that was more at the very end of the season.
In any event, his start to this season might show the hockey world he is still an effective dman.
