Think it was Holtz who they were referring to, but I can't be sure. Rossi is a great skater. - SDSabre
it was holtz...but here's what corey pronman said about rossi's skating
Rossi is a good skater, and you’ve seen in the video he does have some quickness, but for a 5-foot-9 player, I’d argue it’s not the elite quickness you’d typically like for a small player who is projected to be a very good NHL player.
He is very elusive with the puck, showing great edge work, a strong first step and overall ability to elude checks.
I would say he lacks truly dangerous NHL-level rink-length speed to pull away from guys or turn the corner on NHL defensemen.
His skating won’t hold him back from becoming a good NHL player, but if you ask why I don’t think such a highly skilled, intelligent, competitive and productive player is a no doubt star, it would be because of his skating.

I'm not worried guy is a scoring machine plays like Boeser and if Pavelski made a great career i don't see how Holtz can't
Twitter can guide you to articles with depth and breadth of information. No wonder why people do not have the ability to sustain attention for very long these days if it has to be no longer than 280 characters.

Same applies to song lengths as well.
You’ll notice a majority of songs are 3 minutes now.
It reminds me of when Allen came in and people said he bailed out of the pocket too quickly. You tend to get happy feet when Vlad Ducasse is protecting your blind side

The only way I could see the Sabres going this route at 8 is if they make a significant trade to improve the forward depth, and to be frank I don't see how the hell that is done without moving the 8th pick
