I've seen Andersson play and I probably will not vote for him at any point in this process. I don't see anything worth getting excited about. I'll take Jensen's potential over Andersson as a 14th-forward "finished product".

Jensen? 22 years old before the season is starting and he's headed back to college.
I also rank LM Aubrey ahead of Andersson. While Andersson is closer and probably has more skill, Aubry is the better skater and plays with the kind of intensity you want on line 4.

I don't see why Marchenko is the new flavor of the month. He's had a lot of injury problems and while he's produced against juniors in limited action, he's got very little time in at the KHL level.
The injury issue is a huge one for this guy. He's had his spleen removed and he's had a major knee injury. Those are two injuries that can have a serious impact on his career. I'm not buying any time soon.
