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...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
