Strengths

2. terrific playmaker and scorer with high hockey IQ
3. Great on both sides of the puck

Cause for Concern

1. His Size could cause him to fall in the draft despite his immense talent
2. Some Gms fear that Rossi won't be able to sustain his production at the NHL level
3. Has been suspended for dirty plays

Skill:

Point producting Center, with high end playmaking and scoring skills and a great hockey IQ.

Scouting Report:

Marco Rossi is a highly skilled offensive player who is equally dangerous creating plays and finishing scoring chances.
Despite his size he's capable of winning 50/50 puck battles, is strong on face-offs and generates offense with his high hockey IQ, good hands and playmaking ability.
The Austrian born center is a terrific playmaker who plays the game a lot bigger than his lack of size would suggest.
His compete level is very high, and he excels in traffic, rather than shy away from it. He is also an intelligent two-way player.
It's tough to say where Rossi will go in the draft because as we saw last year in Cole Caufield, GMs rarely take a player under 5'10" in the top 10,
for this reason, I think he might slide out of the top 10 despite being a top 5 talent.

NHL Potential:

1st line Center, that can do it all

Style Comparison: Patrice Bergeron

Stats: 

Ottawa 67's   OHL     53 GP      29 G            65 Pts
Ottawa 67's   OHL     56 GP      39 G            120 Pts

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well.

Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. St. Louis Blues

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
