Yes, I would pass on Drysdale and take Rossi. There was the upcoming draft in 2007, with 5 guys in the mix to be picked #1. Uncle Dale had the first pick. I said Dale it MUST be Kane. People were laughing at me saying, one good hit and he will be laid out on a stretcher. You don't ever take a guy that fragile at #1. I argued, guess what people, the game is changing, the fighting and boarding are going extinct, and so are the small rinks such as Chicago Stadium. We need skaters who can maneuver in the bigger rinks, stick-handle, and find the back of the net. Any one of these guys can shoot into the middle of the goalie, but the best, by far, who can aim the puck, is Kane. Regarding Cozens vs. Dach. I felt that Dach was gonna disappear from the scoresheet too much. Hence, I liked Cozens and still do. Yes both should be good, but we will see how that turns out. - MadHatter
Best hands I've ever seen. IQ and vision off the charts. But imo if he has a skill that's just good and not great it's his shooting. He's missed the net high a million times. He is better than he was when he got here, but i would not refer to him as a pure snipe.

His first two season, deBrincat’s shot was as good as - or better than - Kane’s - the wrister was as quick and probably more accurate. Certainly his hands and vision weren’t as good overall, but his shot was there.
