As excited about Rossi as anyone I guess. But…
It will be interesting to see his father’s role on social media as his career progresses. Totally understand being proud of your son, especially coming out of his current situation, but there will undoubtedly be lows during his career and I’m curious how that will be handled.

At least it won't be anything like LaVar Ball. (well... I hope...)

part of me feels like fiala should be there since rossis in switzerland, and he could very well be his center next year.

Rossi looks like a stud. I bet he’ll make the team.

Just seeing this. It hasn't gained as much traction but Matt Boldy's mom was always all over BC Twitter. Anytime I would comment or retweet she was liking it. I think until they are in the pros you see a lot of that kind of support and I can see why. My hockey players are 7 and 5 and we already spend a ton of time at the rink. Can't imagine the time they have spent together with all of those commutes.. I will never fault a father for being proud, until they cross a line haha.

His skating reminds me of Kaprizov in the sense that the hockey smarts/body positioning and anticipation make up for lack of explosiveness.

Agreed. He has good edge work too. He is not a burner, but I think his low center of mass, positioning, and edges are going to make him slippery in the NHL.
As is playing with better players. He seems like he has a high hockey IQ as well. He does the little, fast plays in small areas.

This is the conclusion I came to as well the last time I watched a bunch of Rossi video

Which 80% of NHL defenders can consistently negate if their positioning is decent.
Count me in the camp that believes he has a ways to go in the skating department.
He’s certainly not going to separate from anyone at the NHL level. I also do not see short area quickness that you would like to see is guys that do not skate well at this level. What he does have going for him is balance and maintaining the puck through contact in the open ice and on the wall. Not to mention his apparent dedication to bettering himself. He will need that because I don’t think he’s ever a player that we see excel from a footwork standpoint.
