Here's an interesting question, should a team like MTL or CHI get to pick 8th or 9th if they advance into the field of 16 or beyond? In other words, should they set the 8-31 round by round, instead of requiring a team to reach the final four in order for their position to worsen significantly.

Start up the Tank!
The only teams that should get a chance for #1 should be the the teams that don't make the playoffs (bottom5, bottom 7, or bottom 15). Teams that make the playoffs and make the final 3 rounds (24 team playoff) should get the last 8 picks. Everyone else should get seeded by worst record after they lose.

I think that is pretty accurate. For some reason I am holding his size against him but he is really growing on me. You bringing up Hossa I think compliments Rossi really well. There is just an attitude or an aura about Rossi and how he plays that I am really starting to love. If it translates to the NHL he could legit be the best of them all.
I have put my top 10 prospects in separate tier systems to how I view them longterm/ sure thing. Rossi has been moving up my list as has Zary and Mysak . So basically if we hold the 4th 5th or 6th pick I would want 1 of Drysdale, Raymond or Rossi or anyone in the tiers above. So if we were to pick Rossi at 4 over Raymond and Drysdale I will still be happy. However if Byfield or Stutzle are still available at 4 and we picked a Rossi, Drysdale, or Raymond I might question it a bit. Lots of talent in this upcoming draft, very excited to see where we pick. To me top 6 lands us one hell of a prospect.

2/3 - Byfield, Stutzle
4/5/6 - Drysdale, Raymond, Rossi
7/8 /9 Holtz, Lundell, Perfetti
10 + Zary, Amirov, Mysak, Sanderson

Rossi is a more dynamic Logan Couture. He isn't the fastest, definitely not the biggest, but he has "it".
He's the guy you want out there when you need that goal. He makes everybody on the ice more dangerous, and he makes sure things happen instead of just hoping.

I go back to the criticisms over and over--got a lot of points vs. bottom feeders, average skater, older draft pick, size, relatively close to finished product--but I still keep coming back to that, haha. There's really no 'weakness' in his game. He seems like such a safe pick otherwise. I know he's gonna get shit done. I DO think guys like Stutzle have higher ceilings, but I also think they have much higher bust potential. As far as 'sure things' in the draft, it would just be Laf at #1 and Rossi at #2.

That is how I see it as well, but I couldn't argue with anyone who had Byfield in between them.
Rossi safer than Lundell or latter not being top 2 safest is crazy. Rossi is smei safe yet please name me one single center close to his height. He will be a W in the NHL like Perfetti and potentially Stützle. Most don't realize the latter played wing majority of the time.
Rossi is nothing like Kane lol. Rossi is one of the better two way players in this draft. Outside of being small the comparison ends there for me. Closest comparable and purely playing style is Crosby.
@funky 14 people and Mysak ahead of J. Quinn who you didn't list? Is there a single thing Mysak does better than Quinn?
Laf
Byfield
Raymond/Stützle
Drysdale
Rossi
Perfetti
Lundell
Holtz
Askarov
Quinn

Sanderson
Big group of players. My personal tiers.

With that last name, Mysak had better take teasing better than Quinn

Well okay, but I meant as an impact player. But yes, Lundell is gonna be a real good player, but that guy's ceiling seems to be Mikko Koivu. I just straight up don't like Lundell in the top 10, I think you can draft a middle-six C a lot easier. As far as height, you said it yourself, Rossi plays like Crosby, he appears to be built like a brick shithouse core wise, so I don't see that holding him back. but since I know you're going to be specific to height, Ennis and Marchessault have spent time at C throughout their careers, and Derek Ryan, Pageau, Trevor Moore the pride of Thousand Oaks, Cogliano, Brayden Point, Trocheck, Accari, Max Domi, Mark Letestu, Robby Fabbri, Kerfoot, Grandlund are all playing C at maybe one inch taller. And then you go to 5'11" and it's another 40 players.
I don't think one inch is going to hold Rossi back. And that's assuming he doesn't grow. Especially given he's listed at 180 already.
Edit: I'd move Lundell down a tier and Quinn mayyyybe up a tier or a .5 tier but otherwise I 100% agree with you.

nothing against Quinn at this time. Still doing more research on my top 15ish. Not completely sold on Quinn yet but not sure why I think that about him. At this point it’s just a spidey sense thing, I am sure by the time I am done he will right around that 10 spot.
Mysak is my outside the box guy this far. if Zary is my super safe pick, Mysak is my gamble. Something about Mysak interests me. Would love to see what he does next year now that he is adjusted. Just seemed to get better.
For what it's worth lol, right now I have:
1.) Laf
2.) Byfield
3.) Stutzle
4.) Drysdale
5.) Rossi
6.) Jarvis
7.) Holtz
8.) Amirov
9.) Raymond
10.) Sanderson
11.) Lundell
12.) Perfetti
If I was drafting fantasy hockey Perfetti would be top 5. But he seems like a guy that IF he fulfills his potential and his game translates then he's a high scoring 1 way winger that ends up getting paid more than he's worth.
The sweedes are wildcards to me. Every video I watch on them they look good but not amazing. And they play in a tough league and don't produce much. So it's probably just my amateur eyes looking at prospects playing against much tougher competition.
Seth Jarvis is a stud. I really don't understand why he isn't universally ranked higher. Hes elite skater, and uses it... A lot. He plays both ends, produces at an extremely high clip. What am I missing with him? Feel like he is another Turcotte.
Amirov moves the puck so well, plays both ends of the ice, he's really impressive.

Good list. I'm a fan of Raymond and would put him higher though.
As you said, the Swedes are in a rough spot. Raymond had some low ice time with a high caliber team like Frolünda. Some games he would get less than 5 minutes.

I don't think I can do it, haha. I've gotta do tiers.

Raymond Rossi Drysdale
Holtz Askarov Perfetti Quinn
Lundell Zary
Sanderson Mercer Gunler
Mysak Amirov Bourque Jarvis Lapierre
Grans Andrae Nyback
After that a lot of names I like for us in the early 2nd: Wallinder, Barron, Peterka, Savoie, Cormier. And alot more really interesting guys until the mid 2nd! Gonna be a haul like last year. The mock that had us land Stutzle, Wallinder, Savoie, Tullio was just beautiful.

Okay people every year there is a prospect rated in 1st round that slips to the second. My question is who do u think it will be this year and why?
Raccoon Jesus

Depends on rankings I guess but I could see Lapierre falling over injuries or Mysak falling over limited exposure. Jarvis is all over the map too but doubt he falls out of the 1st. I could see it kind of turning out like last year where people finally go on a defenseman run or something towards the end of the round and push out a few guys with question marks.
