The #Flames have signed @RAndersson19 to a six-year contract extension! https://t.co/ateKCFFqVd— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) January 9, 2020
Andersson was drafted by the Flames with the 53rd overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and has been an effective and reliable blue line player for the organization with their AHL team, the Stockton Heat, even serving as the team's sole representative at the 2018 AHL All Star Game.
Following an injury to Travis Hamonic at the beginning of the 18-19 season, Andersson was recalled to play with Calgary.
He went on to play 79 games with the Flames through the 18-19 season, netting 19 points (2 goals, 17 assists.)
His contributions at the blue line would lead to him finding a permanent spot on the Flames roster and, inevitably, this newly signed long term contract.
