I know it's very unusual for the Oilers to get players after the top 10 or to develop good defenders, and I also know that Oilers fans like to crow and parade around 10 games in to every season, but Andersson is better than Bear right now by every measure.
Bear is the Oilers' best defender and my favourite player on the Oilers, but he's not better than Andersson now, and they're pretty much the same age
yeah, that's a weird post.Except he’s not better than Bear by every metric.

Bear looks in over his head in a top pairing role. Andersson does not.
That 2015 draft is stacked with D. Flames also drafted Kylington and Oilers drafted Jones also who should be a regular... along with Marino (on Pens now).
Remember the Flames traded their first pick in that draft for Hamilton and still got Andersson and Kylington.
Andersson doesn’t play top pairing minutes lol he doesn’t even play 20 a game.
He most certainly does play 20 minutes a game.
careful... he will likely say he’s 4 seconds short of 20:00.
(Avg TOI 19:56 - 19/20 season)
Yeah and he has been well over that since January. This guys post is from yesterday. Hell, he played well over 20 minutes in the last 2 playoff games lol.
Literally does. I suggest reading up on a player before commenting on them.Lol doesn’t even play 20 mins in the playoffs either.
