Rossi is Lomberg’s size and from photos looks to have a similar build (he doesn’t seem to take his shirt off quite as much as Lomberg or the red hot chilli peppers). He was also seen as one of the hardest workers in that draft, playing a physical game and someone who goes to the net. And he’s made strong progress over the last two years.
Sure he’s shorter, but he’s not small and he has the tools to anchor a top line.
There’s risk here (he didn’t score much when Ek and Kaprisov went down down the stretch as teams targeted him), but it’s not his size.
