Kubalik and led the Swiss league in scoring.
Andreasson is 27th in scoring in Sweden.

Doesn't hurt to sign this guy. But I'm not holding much hope.
I don't know why I thought this is the Swiss league, So I'm just wrong there. Not holding out a ton of hope, but still worth a shot.

Pius Suter sucks.
I wouldn't say he sucks but he's not a 2nd line center. Could be a decent 3rd line center. His production is on par with a 3rd line center...only problem is he got 2nd line minutes to achieve that.

He's kind of soft. I like his shot. Playmaking is so-so. But he seems soft. (Suter)

He’s probably not going to move the needle, but he’s worth a shot.

Kubalik and led the Swiss league in scoring.
Andreasson is 27th in scoring in Sweden.

Doesn't hurt to sign this guy. But I'm not holding much hope.
27th in scoring as a ROOKIE! Also, the SHL is a much better league than the Swiss league

He'll be 24 before the season starts.

SHL may or may not be better than the Swiss league, but I think the top end talent in the Swiss National League is equal, or better.
A recent survey shows the "average" salary in the Swiss A League is $235,000
I highly doubt Sweden or Finland are close to that.

Another year and he'll be old enough to qualify for Calder votes.
