Thread: Potential Rossi Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Columbus is pretty small, too. Among prospects, Dumais, Brindley, and Pinelli are all 5'9", and on the NHL roster Justin Danforth is even shorter. Fix-Wolansky is 5'5", though he's a tweener. On the blue line, Boqvist is a very small listed 5'11", and top prospect Denton Mateychuk is under six feet as well (though built like a tank). KJ is 6'1" but he only weighs about 165. And of course then there's famously small Johnny Gaudreau, although I've never seen a player as good at evasion on the ice as he is. Really, the only truly big guys in the system are Voronkov, Jiricek, Gudbranson, and Laine (there is a 6'8" Russian prospect, but his odds of coming over are very low). Everyone else is under 6'2" or a goalie. The org as a whole is so small there's a lot of discontent over the coming draft, and a lot of fans are preferencing Lindstrom or Silayev just because they're big boys.</div></div>

KJ is 140 now. He lost 25 pounds when his arm was ripped off on that faceoff.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>honestly get over yourself.
Just come back down to reality and admit that 2026 pick is most likely same range.
And if you think people haven't already summed up drafts and make these valuations you are kidding yourself. Players apply for exceptional status at 15. Don't think no one is evaluating them. Whole drafts are pretty much wrapped up on paper years before their draft year. They are just tweeked here and there along the way.</div></div>

Players rise and fall all over the draft rankings during their draft year, let alone 3 years before their draft year. There is zero equivalency between a top 6 pick in 2024 and a completely unknown 1st round pick in 2026. You have no idea what you're talking about, and that's the last I'll be hearing from you.
