Rossi was drafted 9th overall 5 years ago, I don't think it's very likely we'll be getting a better player at #18(25% chance), or #32(5% chance). You could argue that a player on an ELC will be cheap for 1-3 seasons, but players are getting some pretty big 2nd contracts now(like Coronato at $6.5M, or Rossi himself).
