Los Angeles Kings: Top 3 prospects worth drafting in 2020

Marco Rossi is a bit undersized at 5’9″, but he has the potential to be one of the best skaters in the 2020 NHL Draft.

So far this season, Rossi has an eye-popping 120 points (39 goals and 81 assists) through 56 games. Much like Perfetti, he does have some concerns with his skating, but his skill is undeniable. The Kings lack his kind of skill in their system, so it would make sense to draft him.

But don’t let his size fool you. Rossi is not afraid to play physical. In fact, he’s already been suspended once this season (and probably should have been suspended an additional time).

Rossi will need to learn to channel his aggression, but when the puck on his stick, he’s capable of making magic happen. He’s also not afraid to go to the dirty areas to score goals.

While he is a bit old for the class (he’ll turn 19 in September), he’s also one of the draft’s most complete players. Rossi is very good defensively and has the potential to be a great two-way forward in the NHL. He’s a lot like a smaller version of Chris Kreider because of how hard he plays and what he’s able to do.
