Truculence.

 

[StreakingRed]

Great news.

 

[Calculon]

Neat. The guys got tremendous potential. Can see a lot of folks wondering why so many teams passed on him at the draft before long.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Yes.

Yep, I think he has legit top pairing upside. He said himself, he moulds his game after Doughty.

Andersson > Kylington

 

[Yarborough]

Yes, this is good.

 

[Deen]

Andersson > Kylington

Their draft order agrees with you. Andersson could be a real gem for us I think.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Andersson > Kylington

Let's hope

Andersson = Kylington

and that both are top pairing studs.

 

[Espeon]

Love it

 

[Lunatik]

Fight a nurse, get a contract.

 

[Lunatik]

Someone should photoshop Darnell nurse into a nurses outfit

Let's hope

Andersson = Kylington

and that both are top pairing studs.

You're supposed to get mad

Career OHLer

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Couldn't even sign his deal before the end of August.

Bust

 

[Anglesmith]

Nice! He's definitely shown the kind of talent that made the Flames board mods take him in the second round of the mod mock draft.

I'm very high on both guys. I think Andersson is more well rounded, but Kylington has a higher ceiling with being the better skater and having a better shot. I think Andersson could be great though, fantastic offensive instincts with great vision. If both guys pan out, we're going to be setup insanely on the backend with also having Hamilton and Brodie already.

Completely agree with this. Andersson is more of a sure thing, but if Kylington gets all his puzzle pieces into their holes...... Look out.

A little bit unfit.

A little bit lazy.

A little bit unfit.

A little bit lazy.

This quote by Loob is epically hilarious but also a reason that Andersson could end up being a huge steal for us. I honestly believe that had he been in better shape, he probably could have been in that 2nd tier of dman in this past draft. With improved fitness will come better skating (not that he's a poor skater now) and just an overall higher level of play. Rasmus was drafted by the right team because the Flames will get him in NHL shape.

andersson could use an offseason with gio. I guess any of the rookies could.

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

I'm a big fan of this signing
