Could someone give us some scouting report?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Just signed with Ottawa 67's.

Very interesting 16 year old, 18 pro games under his belt from this season (4+3=7)

Scored 4 goals, 7 points in 4 games in u18 wjc dv1b
and 3 goals, 5 points in 5 games in u20 wjc dv1a

For sure, a top 15 pick in the 2020 draft me thinks
(if his developments continues with current path)

He's probably going to finish as a top 3-5 pick in 2020, no one has had better success that he's had against men, not even Byfield.

Other 01s have played against men. The other players in his draft class just haven't had the opportunity to play against men because at 15/16 its extremely rare to be playing pro. There will be alot of changes as these European players enter pro leagues within the next couple years. We cannot talk about North American players because the system is set up to be playing juniors at that age. Doesn't mean they are any worse than the Euros playing pro.

Went to ottawa... 18th position. Preagreed

 

[S E P H]

Seriously underrated, posted three points tonight and started off the season strong with 10 points in 10 games.

He's been followed pretty heavily for awhile now.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

1st in the OHL rookie scoring. Had a slow start to the season, 2 points in 6 games, lately thou, 6 goals, 2 assists, in 4 games.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Marco Rossi keeps beasting up in the OHL, has kept an 2 ppg avg for 5 games now.

 

[hawksfan50]

Taking the OHL by storm....7g 5a in 11 GP and+10

But aside from the stats....it I'd the eye test of how he plays the game ...

You notice the little things. . All done right...

Thecarexalready using the rookie on the PK....You notice his skating. ..agility. ..puck -carrying. ..passing and set-ups and his scoring ability..but he has great hockey sense...He also wins a lot of face offs. .his work effort is fantastic. .gets to loose picks and makes instant plays out of it. ..he back-checks and steals pucks ...wins board battles despite hisvcirrentvsmurf size (5'9 174)... Today a big article came out about him in the Ottawa Sun ...says his coach calls him World Class ...already. .If he is doing this in the OHL having just turned 17 on September 23rd,imagine how he will be dominating the league in his draft year next season?

You have to watch in play....except for his size,which is his only flaw...though it may be no issue at all,everything else about his game bis terrific...I really am impressed..It would not surprise me if he gives Lafreniere a run for the #1 overall in 2020 ..

I think Marco Rossi should get more love around here,over ppg player as a player who was 16 less than a month ago,
is top 5 in both face-off wins (140) and in face-off % (60) in the entire OHL, from his 18 points 17 has come from 5 on 5.

Leads all rookies in goals,points,+/-, number of face-off wins (+ number of face-offs taken) and face-off percentage, ppg, sog

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Not only OHL, he actually leads all rookies in the entire CHL in goals,points and in those face-off categories and also is 2nd in ppg & +/-

As someone who watches a lot of 67s hockey, he's even better than the numbers indicate. Creates something every time he's on the ice.

That's really good to hear, thanks.

His face-off stats are impressive, have you noticed where he gets most wins; d-zone,o zone,neutral zone?
what about the match up, how is his line used?, sheltered role?.

Haven't noticed a particular zone he excels in more than others.

He was slightly sheltered earlier in the season, it took him a few games to get used to used to the OHL. Since then though, his line (Austen Keating-Rossi-Tye Felhaber) has been used a ton, in every situation. Not sheltered one bit. They're the hottest line in the OHL.

Have a feeling he will have his coming out party in the WJC, would likely make him solid choice for top 5 selection in 2020 if he isn't already.

If you mean elite level WJC then Austria has to gain promotion this year. Last time Austria played at WJC was 2010.

I knew he was Austrian but for some reason in my head today he was Swiss.

Prior to NA, played his entire career in Switzerland, so probably that's why

[Prospect Pipeline]

Marco Rossi is proving to be one of -- if not the best -- OHL rookies this season. Although he's somewhat of an unknown prospect to many within North America, Rossi's incredibly potent play is demanding the attention of the hockey world.
