I think if they could afford to they would, but they've got a superstar in Kaprizov who's about to make 14M+ a season.

I wouldn't call 6'1 "big" myself, when people say "HUGE" centers I'm assuming they mean 6'4 at a minimum.

The last time we saw one available was Cozen's and I'd argue he's definitely bigger but I wouldn't say he's a more skilled player than Rossi. Rossi is quite young too, I think there's a lot more to give on a team who can give him more minutes and responsibilities.

Now with all of this said, like Jiri pointed out you have to consider the acquisition cost as well. I certainly wouldn't trade the farm for him, but simply put he makes the Flames significantly better today if they acquired him for minimal cost.

The Flames need more 60+ pt guys, a lot more.
I'm 6'3" 270lbs if we need more size at center lol. I'll play for league minimum, who am I kidding I would play for a jersey with my name on it. I do have a long concussion history though, so not sure I would pass the medical.
