LGR4GM Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just now, Thorny said: No one seems to talk about Rossi on the level of your Zegras, Byfield, Lafreniere..not even the NBD guy laying down the rumors. In your opinion is the health prognosis still a big concern? So much of what I remember about Rossi's stats heading into the draft illustrated the idea he was right in that top tier. If you add Boldy to the mix..I wonder what KA is waiting for if that's on the table: the Rangres aren't going to beat it. Rossi had heart inflammation from Covid and that his gone. Unless there's something we do not know, I have no concerns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm envisioning a Sabres war room where Karmanos and Ventura are animatedly trying to convince Adams to dig past his notes on Quinn and Matt Irwin to the ones Botterill had buried underneath on Rossi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Not talking about Rossi in the Zegras level of prospect is a direct result of Rossi not playing for a year but he's 100% on that level until otherwise shown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but this guy has a habit of posting (mostly) garbage that really doesn't add anything to the discussion. Of course, that is only my opinion, but it seems that I am not alone. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi just missed an entire season due to heart complications from COVID. seems like a terrible deal IMHO. If you can't get Boldy, Rossi and Pick 22. hang up the phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Not sure whether Friedman’s report is good news or not? Not that there has been anything confirmed, but the internet seems to think 3OA and Comtois were offered. If Anaheim has bowed out and it is down to Minnesota and the Rangers, can we assume the leading package now beats that? To me, that would mean at minimum Kakko and Rossi would have to be on the table with a number of pluses, no? If the offers were never as good as the rumoured Duck offer to begin with, we are in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both them and Jack will just have to suck it up until he proves his worth once again. Prior to the neck injury, there is no way the Sabres are accepting a trade of #3 overall and Zegras for Eichel. Now, He's not worth even that? get him back to full strength, prove his worth and then make a trade. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be funny though, for the people who believe that Eichel demanded a trade, for Eichel to get totally dissed by the trade market. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also valuing 1 player over another has no value here. Tervor Zegras was passed on by Buffalo as well in 2019. Third: What injury concern? Fourth: This is not a terrible draft, if this draft had McDavid or Eichel or Dahlin or Byfield at the top and NO other changes, it would be consider very average in terms of depth and talent.

I'm glad to hear the draft is deeper then I had read about. I trust your scouting info so ok. But the heart inflammation due to Covid has to be a concern doesn't it? Is there proof out there that he's training and playing at a professional level? There are still many unknowns with Covid and what it can do. If I'm trading my franchise player I need to get back more then a hope and a prayer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's back to training, there was a clip about a month ago of it. He was fully cleared in April I think. My understanding is once the heart inflammation goes away, you're all set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
