I’d probably call Andrae the 3rd best prospect in the organization behind Gauthier and Brink right now. Dude was an absolute beast for Sweden a couple of WJCs ago and just had one of the best U21 seasons ever for a defenseman in the SHL.
Given his size and a lack of a truly elite pedigree I don’t see him ever being a #1D, but I honestly think his ceiling could be a lower end top pair guy. Here’s to hoping he translates to NA well

He’s a brilliantly confident defensemen that genuinely takes over games when he settles in to the competition level. Strong as an ox for a smaller player and vision and skill out the ass. Very excited for him to be here. Dominated imo at the world juniors which bodes well for predicting how he’ll fare against his peers later in his career.
