I'm a fan of Zary, but this isn't true. He was on pace for 45 points on the season when he got injured in January. I still agree that Zary has a high ceiling, and his 45 pace, growth and skillset shows progression, but Rossi is by far the better player at this point on really any evidence: pedigree, consistent growth, production. And he's played regularly in the NHL as a centre, which is still an uncertainty for Zary.
The risk is in his height and whether that limits him, particularly as we see Florida's big bodies wear down teams. I'd take the chance on him depending on the price, but the price would have to be right.
