Rossi should have a lane to be Minnesota's 1C, but they need someone on their PP to play netfront and win faceoffs and Rossi isn't going to be that guy. He's not bumping Zuccarello, Kaprizov or Boldy yet. I'm highest on him long term, but I don't see the path to short term production.
Tarasov has probably the most wide range of outcomes. If Columbus is decent but Merzlikins is bad then Tarasov could explode. Goalies with a chance to play make a ton of sense in your pool. He wouldn't be my first bet (Levi, Schmid, Woll, Wolf, even Hofer) but he is a decent bet.
You could make a case for keeping or dropping any of these guys. What I'm loathe of is hopping on the prospect treadmill so I'm not dropping these guys to pick up a 2023 draft pick unless it's Bedard, Fantilli, Michkov, or Carlsson.
Benson has look very good in Buffalo as well...i would probably want him over Tarasov but you are right...Tarasov could be useless this year or he also could be best of the bunch by quite a margin...its wide open in CBJ
