Rosen has achieved as much against his peers as any of them. Admittedly, I don't pay much attention to these types of signings, and didn't pay any attention to when the other guys signed... But I will say every one of those guys you mentioned is further along than Rosen is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a normal sized person. My lord. Yeah, he's already Weissbach-sized. Now... he's 5 years younger than Weissbach and so I don't expect him to produce for the Amerks like Weissbach did in his rookie season (16-21-37 in 67 GP) because he'll need to adapt to new ice, a new life, etc. But with a couple years of AHL grooming and filling out as he becomes an adult, I expect he'll start looking really good in that Amerks sweater and the fans of Rochester will be sad to see him go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those other players have. When Rosen has played in junior leagues, he has always produced. Edited June 1, 2022 by Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check his ppg in the Swedish Junior League this year. Small sample size of only 8 games, but he's WAY back. https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/j20-nationell/stats/2021-2022?sort=ppg And it's not like he's got the size to make up for his pedestrian scoring against other kids. I could probably look the other way if he was knocking on 200lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably look the other way if he was knocking on 200lbs. His scoring against other kids is not pedestrian. He is as close to the league leading pace as any of those other prospects are and as you said, the sample size is so small that quibbling over tenths of points per game is absolutely useless. The fact is that he has been very productive against players his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is not surprising. Jerry Forton in his interview was not happy with organization Rosen was with in Sweden and that they didn’t have a direct farm team to send Rosen to so he could develop.

The one game I saw him play (vs the Slovaks at the WJC) he looked fine. He looked more solid on his skates than his rep had me expecting and he was fast and he engaged. Didn’t accomplish much, certainly didn’t stand out, but you could tell he had skill. I have concerns about Rosen too, but I could never make up my mind like you have with such a small bucket of information.

If they wanted to take a high risk - high reward player, I wish they would have did some homework on a CHL kid that didn't play due to the lockdown.

woods-racer Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Rosen has a long way to to be considered worthy of his draft position or to be considered a bust. But he still looks like Alfred E Neuman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosen might bust but I am willing to let him cook another few years before calling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
