Great. I wouldn't take Rossi. These players are 22 and 23 years old. He rode Kaprizov. Finished on the 4th line for a reason. Anyone can read stats, thats the thing about hf. There's a few people that have had enough exposure to the game that actually can use an eye test. Then theres the rest who dont watch or dont really know what they are watching.
You still haven't answered why you have Quinn here and not Holtz. We can all wait. But you know your original comment was garbage. You just wont admit it.
It's incredible how much nerve you have to criticize the opinions of people whose job it is to watch NHL games. Who are you to say these guys are frauds who only look at stats?
Maybe you watch the games, but your perspective isn't necessarily effective.
I'll come back to talk about the contracts signed this summer. Rossi will have a higher contract than Quinn. That's for sure. He's probably in much higher demand on the phone.
When an entire system rates Rossi above Quinn and quite significantly so after 5 years, the smart thing would be to rethink itself.
Besides, I already explained to you that I compiled the list based on my perspective on day D of the draft and that it wasn't a redraft.
In 2020, I saw Quinn after the 20th pick (I had him 26th). It's normal that I thought the pick was a waste with an 8th-place selection, especially in the context of Buffalo. Askarov would have been the optimal choice according to my reading at the time. Then it was Lundell. Jarvis and Guhle followed.
If I distort the subject by taking into account what the players have become, my list is no longer the same at all. Still, it doesn't change anything in my assessment of Quinn's choice at number 8 : missed.
