Prospecting Prospect - End of Season 18/19

While I may not agree with that second statement, imagine Stutzle on the Team Canda WJHC team. He would have tore it up. But I definitely covet Laf more than the rest of them. His physical play and compete is higher than the rest of them. I'd argue maybe Rossi is close but Laf > Rossi.

I did watch Rossi's highlight package. Reminds me of a cross between Crosby and Marchand with the way he controls the puck

Rossi is my love child. Not one facet of his game can be questioned.

He'd be the #2 pick if he was 3-4 inches taller

And you could put Tkachuk and Batherson on his wings so he's sandwiched between two monsters, with Brown and Pinto down the middle as your 2C and 3C.

Tkachuk-Rossi-Batherson
Norris-Brown-Raymond
Formenton-Pinto-White

Your future top-nine

Don’t think you’d ever compete for a cup with Rossi as your top C.

That’s beautiful.

Take that back in 5 years when he’s hoisting it. He does everything a 1C should do and more.

I'm not drinking the Lagoon koolaid. Watch the highlight package. He's a monster .

He drives the net and is such a slick passer. Byfield has a higher ceiling and more upside but he still has a lot of developing to do.

Rossi reminds me of Couturier in that he's NHL ready and he's an effective three zone player but with more offensive upside

I wasn’t big on Couturier when he was drafted but he’s significantly bigger than Rossi.

I’d only consider Rossi at 6 at best. Sorry. Not even sure if he’s the first 67 drafted this year

Brutal.

One of Byfield and Stutzle works for me

Byfield will be long gone and it better not be Stutzle we take at 3 or 5.

You can’t even be serious that they are comparable.

I’d prefer Byfield but clearly Stutzle is an obvious top 3 pick and considered #2 by many teams. I don’t know why you keep ignoring it lol. LA might seriously take him for sure.

The only question for the Sens will be 5. Do you pair Stutzle with Drysdale, Rossi, Raymond, Holtz, Perfetti?

Our only hope is the Kings realizing they already have insane C’s and C depth in their prospect pool and they actually take Drysdale or a W.

It’s still Byfield though.

Im late to the party.
Im so relieved that we at least got the 3rd.


Speaking of the kings pick... no one else think that Dorion will package a 2nd rounder to move up one spot and grab Byfield to assure himself they grab him while after that I DGAF who the kings draft?
