Nice. He has looked great in the prospect tournament.

[btimbit]

Awesome

[nightfx]

He's showing why he was picked before kylington, both look great so far though.

[BurningSteel]

Wunderbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GreenLantern]

Does this mean he will attend camp? Or is this standard for junior players?

[Poe969]

He really had to fight for his contract.

Kid looks great, another great move by BT.

[Vinny01]

Love what I have been reading about this kid and was impressed with his play on Saturday. I feel like the Flames nailed it with this draft in terms of Dmen

[Benched]

Looks competent. This is exciting

[Chingas]

This kid looked great on the ice, but what really impresses me the most is his humble attitiude in the press interview.

Edit: not sure how to succesfully embed a flames site video. Link below.

Between Andersson and Kylington, the Flames managed to get 2 1st round pick calibre players late in the 2nd round. That's what good scouting will do for you. May you never learn this lesson Edmonton Oilers.

Pumped. Andersson was a player I chose to keep track of from the release of the 2015 who to watch list from the NHL back at the end of the 2014 draft.

After his showing here and his success in Barrie, cannot believe the Flames nabbed Andersson and Kylington in the same range. STEAL

Projects to be a good, solid depth player with a smart enough game to move upwards.

Flames seem to be getting better with selecting second rounders as of late, which is an encouraging trend from years past.

Just having second rounders is an encouraging trend from years past.

Mayby it's because we are actually using our second round picks, Sutter handed them out like coupons at Costco

I see him as more than just a depth player. His vision and poise with the puck was only superseded by Nurse in the tournament. His positioning was 2nd to none in this hockey fan's opinion. He has shown grit and determination. A will to win. An extremely mature and responsible hockey player.

Helps when you actually have those second round picks. "cough" SUTTER "cough"

[Samuelsson]

Like this signing

Means we can move Brodie down to the third pairing and have Andersson with Wideman on the second line
