1 - $10M isn't close to a max contract 2 - He's not worth that kind of money 3 - Even if he was currently, he's too old to be signing a 7 year contract for that type of money

I was only joking about CRL. It’s actually quite fun over there.

Stutzle is quite similar to Rossi > At 12 years old joins the German U16 > At 15 he is dominating the German U19 > At 16 he is dominating German U20 play and WJC U18 international play > At 17 he joins the German mens league posting 34 points in 41 games Stutzle seems to check a lot of boxes. Blazing fast. Amazing puck control. Electric and dynamic offensively. I have read he is not 6'1" though and is a lot closer to 5'11". If it comes down to Stutzle v. Byfield as the poll suggests it will be tough. Byfield looks like more of the complete package, but is also the more immature player and doesn't seem to do any one thing amazingly well. Stutzle is likely gonna be an offensive powerhouse and might be more NHL ready now, but lacks the diverse tool kit that Byfield may have one day. This is how bored I am. I'm actually doing prospect research now instead of talking out my ass.

Doing my due diligence on Marco Rossi now This kids resume is impressive AF. Perhaps even more impressive than Lafrenieres. > At 11 years old he enters Switzerlands top U15 league > At 13 he gains promotion to Switzerlands top U17 league (he is a pre-pubescent 5'4" at this point) > By 15 he is absolutely wailing on this league and thus gains promotion to Switzerlands top U20 league. He is also now participating in WJC U18 international play where he is also dominant AF > At 16 he has turned pro and is playing in the Swiss mens league scoring 7 pts in 18 games. He is also now on the WJC U20 roster and is still dominant against his peers > At 17 he crosses the pond to play in the OHL and is over a pointpergame player > At 18 he leads the entire CHL in scoring <-- you are here I actually read his point totals are a poor reflection of his play, because he is making stuff happen literally every second of every shift. His drive and workmanship are supposed to be something to behold. The knocks: I guess he isn't that fast, so he may not project to be an NHL center. Not a whole lot of centers exist who are that small and don't have speed to compensate for it. But I guess his edgework is phenomenal, so he will be spinning guys heads in tight. I want to say this is the next MSL, but then MSL was uber fast. I think it's very clear if you value offense and can look past small size, this is the best out there not named Lafreniere.
