mrsasaki Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He seems like a steady defensive guy, but apparently there might be some offense there too. Not alot but a bit. after reading into him more he seems alot like Jonathan Ericsson to me. Here's the breakdown of Ericssons game Sounds alot like Andersson IMO, there are certainly some comparables (one being that they are both Swedish and both are late round picks) If he could turn into this type of defensemen I would be pretty happy. So I've seen Edler, Gunnarsson and now Ericsson comparisons. I'm starting to notice a trend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 So I've seen Edler, Gunnarsson and now Ericsson comparisons. I'm starting to notice a trend... Edler isn't quite as similar, doesn't have the offense or skating ability IMO, but Gunnarsson and Ericsson are more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Gunnarsson seems like a good comparable. Solid defensively, can skate well and move the puck, and might have some underrated offense in him too. Don't think he'll be as physical as some of the D-men mentioned. Seems really quiet and even-keeled too, not unlike Edler's personality when he first debuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Btw anyone remember this picture? I know it's not impossible, but back then in '09 who'da thunk the 5th rounder would be looking more like a guy with NHL potential than the 2nd rounder?

elvis15 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Andersson didn't make the top 10 of the Hockey Prospectus review of our prospect pool, but he did make the next five: 15. Peter Andersson, Defense: Andersson is a big defenseman who skates well for his size and makes good defensive reads, but he brings little in terms of offensive skill.

stonecoldstevebernier Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Time for a bump! Andersson left the game tonight after being checked from behind into the boards... no word on if he'll miss time, it'd be a real blow to the Comets if he did. He has the highest plus/minus (+8) on a team that's been in the basement all year long, putting up a real solid year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the highest plus/minus (+8) on a team that's been in the basement all year long, putting up a real solid year so far. I hope Andersson is okay. That hit from behind was nasty and the type that leads to concussions. Andersson was sent face first into the glass and never returned to the bench after it happened. The pairing of Andersson and Biega has been our two best D for a few weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This guy deserves a bump. he along with sanguinetti is Utica's most consistant pairing right now and both guys are looking great. If they keep it up, defensive depth doesnt look too bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Benning i remember said he liked Andersson's size and mobillity. Maybe if injuries become frequent he could be an option for a call up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeydew Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Another gem for a solid prospect, could pan out to be that 5/6th d-man with occasional call ups in the potential future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The Comets are not only getting consistent play from their fourth line and goaltenders, they are also getting stellar play from their blue-liners, most notably Peter Andersson. The Canucks fifth round, 143rd overall, pick in 2009 is now in his third AHL season and is starting to come into his own. In 15 games, the 6-foot-4, 200-pounder has a pair of goals and a plus-11 rating, which is second in the AHL. “I like his game a lot,” said Green. “He is one of those quiet Swedish defenceman that you see every once in a while. He just plays the game, is smart, he has gotten stronger and has a higher compete level in his battles this season. He is playing heavier and as a result he is playing a lot more and a lot better. He has become a real good defenceman for us.” Sounds kinda like Edler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I always pull for the underdog personally. So cool seeing Andersson step up this year! even if he ends up as an Andrew Alberts type depth D, it would be great for the organization to be able to fill those type of roles with homegrown prospects!

Fred65 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'd like to see him called up for a cup-o-coffee. Seems to me it's this season or nothing. He's 23 will be 24 before the end of the season and if they don't throw him a bone this year they might not do it period. Maybe the same is true for Tommernes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hast played for a while now. Is he injured ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Andersson missed a bunch of games with an injury and has been in and out of the lineup since returning (healthy scratch I think). To be honest I don't see much potential in him. A big body that plays small with very limited offensive upside. He had a great +/- early in the season when paired with Bobby Sanguinetti but has looked below average when paired with anyone else. Everyone has looked better when paired with Bobby S.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Seems like Lafranchise has taken his spot with Bobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
