Good to see. He looked overwhelmed at the NHL level, so still plenty of work ahead of him. Above all his footspeed was noticeably lacking, but I’m assuming he’ll make up for that with smart decision making and experience.

Interesting really.

0.70+ P/GP for u-22 Dmen in AHL?

55% chance of being top 4 Dman
80% chance of being NHL Dman

0.60-0.69:

36% chance of being top 4 Dman
64% chance of being NHL Dman

Well... no Phantoms Dman has ever been over 0.6 P/GP at that age before... aha. Only 10 in 30 years have got over 0.4. Because the Flyers have had so few legitimate D prospects it is comical


Top 10 Dmen in P/GP for Phantoms while u-22 (20+ gp):

1. Emil Andrae: 0.68
2. Travis Sanheim: 0.57
3. Joni Pitkanen: 0.54
4. Andy Delmore: 0.53
5. Phil Myers: 0.52
6. Mark Eaton: 0.49
7. Cam York: 0.48
8. Alex Picard: 0.44
9. Yegor Zamula: 0.42
10. Brandon Manning: 0.41

This list depresses me.

For context Sanheim, at 20, started on the third pair and was PP2 all year behind TJ Brennan who was known to take 1:45 minute PP shifts.

And then when he got sent back the next year at 21 and put up 16 in 18 games and was 3rd in league scoring while playing behind Brennan again. Sick development.

thx. Its funny that the two most productive dman of THE LAST 30 YEARS when it comes to Ahl production are doubt the whole time! Sanheim was handled like a 4th round pick who will never amount to anything. He would be traded for nearly nothing and a old vet who has lost 2 steps. Andrae is used like a 6th round pick with a bit of offensive upside.

on another note how do we have so few elite dman in the ahl? Smells like bad drafting? Yeah it was bad drafting. So we needed to sign and trade for franchise dman.

Amac was a game changer. At least he helped loosing games.

Fisto was a franchise corner stone. At least all fans and the whole league talks about him....

Niskanen was the the most important signing in history of the nhl. Cause the flyers win a few games in the bubble with him.

TDA was a beautiful trade cause he brings all fans from the flyers together. In the end every Single Flyer fan hated him.

I'm asking myself how Andrae's adjustment to the smaller ice and north america has been so far. we all know he has to overcome his size ... how's he doing so far?

Stop with this size bullshit! I cant hear it anymore

Andrae has struggled, watching him last week (3 games televised in a week), I wasn't overly impressed, a bit disappointed in that he doesn't seem to have made a lot of progress from earlier in the season. It's not that he was bad, it's that he wasn't heads and shoulders above the other LHV D-men, like you'd expect from a potential top 4 NHL D-man prospect.

In fact, I thought Ginning and Attard looked better, but they're both 24, whereas Andrae just turned 22. Ginning has improved as a passer and Attard isn't getting caught out of position on a regular basis, like he has in the past.
