Maybe not a slam dunk at the time but pretty close.
He was highly touted just some concerns with speed/his weight.
Not sure how many people here were upset with it, but I seem to recall a lot of us being happy/thinking we made out like bandits with this pick.

This is what was said of Andersson when he was drafted:
"Has a strong lower base, so he is able to compete and win battles against bigger forwards. Is very agile moving from the defensive zone to the attack. Is also a physical presence who is always willing to do the dirty work. Needs to improve his decision-making process in order to maximize his National Hockey League output, as he has a tendency to not always be in the right place at the right time. Must develop greater consistency for the NHL."
Far from a can't miss prospect. I just find the outrage on draft day funny. Many posters have never watched this guy player and they are upset. Kuznetsov has great upside.
