This choice becomes the first difficult choice.

Fox vs Miller.

Fox is more ready for the show, but I believe Miller still has the higher upside to become a true #1 if everything clicks...where I see Fox as a 2/3. It's close, but I'm going with Miller.

It's a little strange to me that Shestyorkin got so much support at #3, but Georgiev, who is slightly younger, has already established himself in the NHL, was picked for Russia's WC team over Shestyorkin, and will probably play ahead of Igor on the Rangers this season, didn't get any support at all. I get the support for Igor, but on paper it seems to me like there should have been at least be some debate between the two of them.

I'll add Reunanen. He's a strong skater with very good vision / offensive skills and NHL size, his Liiga point total last season has only been bested by Esa Lindell, Sami Vatenen, Ville Polka, and Sami Niku among U21 defensemen in the last 10 years, and he improved dramatically over the course of the last season, culminating with him putting up almost a point per game in the Liiga playoffs.
 
Miller, add Rykov.

Honestly this is a dead heat between Miller and Fox. This should really be a tie.
 
Fox would get the nod based on performance to this point (can't do much more than he has), but I just feel like Miller's upside over the entire rink is so immense.

That’s what the debate comes down to for me.

Fox has the longer track record thus far, but Miller is a guy whose ceiling and yet untapped potential is hard to ignore.
 
I went Miller because he's potentially a #1. He did what he was suppose to do in his D+1 season.
 
Hopefully a future top pairing at #4 and #5 here. I try to get to a lot of NCAA games each year, but I've seen much more of Fox being an ECAC guy than KeAndre.
