4. Marco Rossi

DOB: Sept. 23, 2001 (age 18)
Position: C
Shoots: L
Team: Ottawa 67’s — OHL
Height: 5-foot-9
Weight: 179 pounds

Marco Rossi of the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s is a fascinating prospect who is almost certainly a lock to serve as a top-10 selection in this year’s draft.

Despite being a smaller player, Rossi has often demonstrated a capacity to grind his opponents out. He frequently ushers forth strong offensive output while also being able to clock in difficult defensive minutes on a nightly basis.

A very creative player in the offensive end, Rossi is all but universally projected to serve as a center of the future in the NHL. It is nothing short of a joy to watch the 18-year-old’s playmaking sensibilities come to fruition when Ottawa needs him most.

As such, expect to hear more about his ceiling in the not-so-distant future.
