If they trade Rossi and can't find a good center to replace him (since good C's are difficult to aquire and rarely become available) it's good to have Yurov & Öhgren as depth from the minors.
Ek, Yurov, Öhgren, JimmyG do sound better than Ek, JimmyG, Hartman as center options.

I think of the dorf in Dragon Age Origins. Not sure if it's spelled the same or not.
At least he hasn't changed how he wants his name pronounced (twice), unlike some other high maintenance player on the team...
Yes, I added this just to tweak someone (not naming names) on here off by making another post about Rossi.

Wasn't Dorf a character in Golf video's played by Tim Conway?
Loved the small man dig once again. You are so reliable - it's comforting. In your honor, i will post this again, in case you missed it the first time.

Meh. I really just can't stand dorfs in most books/games. At least gnomes are for punting and halflings are entertaining, as far as the smaller races go.
Tim Conway is just an amazing comedian/actor.
I had a buddy in college who was a CIS/programming major that I used to go back and forth with. He was adamant that he needed to have an Android because it was better for coding… That dude never used his phone for coding a day in his life. It was just a symbol for him and his career path.
The reality is people should pick whichever one they like better and is easier for them. I like the iPhone better. I like the MacBook Pros better than the crap windows laptops out there, but I much prefer building my own PC than an iMac/Apple desktop. Having an iPhone doesn’t mean a person is “simple” when it comes to tech. Just like having an Android doesn’t make them a wizard either. Hell, you see it often on here that people don’t know how to use basic HTML when typing responses to other posters. I’m guessing there are plenty of Android users in that group.
And he plays a particularly nasty brand of it and is incredibly effective all over the ice and his height doesn’t seem to be any impediment at all.
I know, that’s why I’m okay with Rossi playing wing. Marchand is exactly the type of player Rossi could be.
I have no idea if he could or would want to. I’m simply asking what part of his physical stature would be an impediment to him playing center given he is very physical , tenacious and plays a straight up bruiser brand of hockey.
He just needs 500% more tenacity and toughness and to play the wing, then they would be identical
Can't believe the Wild passed on Bill Zito twice. I was banging on the table to hire him after Fletcher
I think we can forgive him for lacking some toughness being he’s so young. I could see him becoming a little more tenacious. He likely isn’t going to end up with Marchand levels of motor but he’s not done developing.
My point is his stature isn’t any type of impediment to him playing with other larger men and being competitive or even dominant in the areas he currently needs to improve on.
He’s probably a much more effective player at wing without the defensive responsibilities and faceoff duties that are required of a center. Could he play 3C on Florida? Probably. Don’t think they would ever consider it with Lundell currently at 3C.
