And its not about whos better its about who impacts next year most and I dont even see Blandisi on the roster
Blandisi is not a bottom 6 player.
I doubt he makes the roster
I completely disagree with that. He can absolutely be in the bottom 6. What, are speedy offensively talented players not allowed in the bottom 6? That worked well last year...
Chances are he ends up being a pesky 3rd line LW/C for the majority of his career.

he can barely stay on his feet when skating into a corner - you think hes fit for a bottom 6 role?
We will see what the coaching staff thinks. I foresee him spending the season in Albany
How is Blandisi getting votes?
Id take all 3 above him this season. The kid has gone through some tough times, let him get his legs and balance in the AHL this year.
Id go this order for the remaining: Kalinin > Fiddler > Josefson
What exactly is a bottom 6 role anymore? It's not like it used to be where you put your third line in a checking role and just have your fourth line throw themselves around like a bunch of idiots.
Blandisi will definitely get his time in the NHL this season. If he doesn't earn a roster spot he will get called up when one or all of Cammalleri Bennett Josefson disintegrate.
On a side note I talked to him during the 3 on 3 rookie camp in July when he was healing from injury. Very friendly person and loves engaging with the fans.
No love for Kalinin, huh?
I'm planning on voting for him next. Unlike Josefson, last year was his first year in the league. There's still a chance for offensive improvement.
People actually think a forward that's gonna be on special teams and the shootout will have the 13th most impact on this team? Hilarious
