PREMIUM

Andersson has very good size and strength and leadership abilities. Is aggressive and pretty physical, but could still play the body even more. Hockey sense is very good and playmaking ability above average. A good penalty killer. The knock Andersson is his skating and mobility. Not the slowest of skaters by any means, but acceleration could use some work.
- Elite Prospects (2009)

Andersson missed the entire 2016/17 season due to a hip injury.
