I have no idea why people fall in love with small players so often.
How many arguments do you see on here on whether a player is a winger or a center. Does it hurt us to pick up Rossi, play him at center and maybe move him to the wing if he does not turn into a top end center?

This kid is a machine, he is right there for 4th heaviest player on the Flames. He's Bennett's weight. Low center of gravity and elite strength equals board battle wins IMO. Add the skill and he can compete in the playoffs, just needs time as he is still young.

Didn't he also have a long Covid issue and set him back a bit especially someone who is a machine in the gym.

Never hurts to have a couple centers on the wing when we are ready to win. Helps with chemistry and lines when you can mix it up with extra centers.
