R.J. Anderson
Prospect Grade: 6.0 D (About Prospect Grades)
History
Anderson, along with 2005 prospect Tom Gorowsky, led Centennial High School to a Class AA State Championship. Anderson finished first among all Minnesota high school players with 56 assists and was the top scoring defenseman with 85 points.
Talent Analysis
Anderson can log a ton of minutes, performs exceeding well on breakouts and compares favorably to Calgary defenseman Jordan Leopold at the same age.
A league coach had this to say about Anderson: “RJ provides so much offense with his great vision and tremendous puck skills. He is one of the defensemen that college people and pro scouts like because he moves the puck well and can jump into the rush. He’s a guy who will be able to quarterback a power play since he uses his teammates well and shoots the puck plenty heavy. I don’t think he has a lot of weakness, but he will of course have to get stronger like any young kid.”
Future
Attends the U. of Minnesota.
