The sad truth is Andrae is a Top 4 guy here on opening night if the Flyers don’t add on the blue line. Ristolainen will still be out a while.
Andrae has legitimate top 4 potential while Hague does not. The issue with the Flyers is the mix of players. Ristolainen is a mediocre 3rd pair defenseman. It’s not a loss. They don’t have to do anything. They should be tanking for draft capital.
