Rumor: Canucks going after Rossi?

RandV said:
Personally I find this repeated statement nonsensical. It's perfectly valid that scouting departments may see this years draft in certain ranges weaker than others. and that the Wild prefer to have a now player if they trade Rossi and not a draft pick. But this idea that scouts just overall 'don't like a draft'? That's nonsense. If the Wild had pick #15 maybe they look at the players available as equivalent to a #25 pick from the previous year, and management wasn't happy with the acquisition cost, but I'm sure Brackett and the amateur scouts will have their list and end up with a player they're happy to have. If management doesn't just trade it back out for a now player and let another team get a prospect they want. Yes the Wild already traded their pick, but that was a trade to get David Jiricek.

Basically this is the trade rumours board, not fantasy hockey, and what we have are rumours and speculation. It appears that Guerin isn't interested in meeting Rossi's contract demands, and with a lot of teams needing a center an offer sheet is a very likely possibility. Vancouver is one of those teams needing a center, and their most readily available center piece asset will be the #15 in the upcoming draft with maybe some tweaks here or there. It's up to Guerin how he wants to play it but if Vancouver is in the mix this could be a contender for the best value asset, even if its not what he's specifically looking for. Draft picks are the most fluid assets though so he could easily do something else with it.

If the trade happened for a 2025 pick, it would probably be during the draft, if somebody is sitting there at #15 that Minnesota has notably higher ranked.

Again whether you think it's nonsensical or not, it's something that has been factually reported including in the last few weeks, and days. They want a win now player like Peterka. Just because they have Brackett doesn't mean they need any more Picks or prospects. Guerin also never said he didn't want to resign Rossi. Contract differences happen all the time. Offersheet him, and wild would be more than happy with picks in 26.

A perterka type player is what they want for Rossi straight up

I doubt the Wild would say no to #15+Lekkerimäki. Word on the street is they might prefer a 2026 pick. Any interest in 2026 1st (top 10 protected) + Lekkerimäki for Rossi?

I dont trust this team to develop prospects at all when they are on the verge of breaking in. Iowa is a complete clown show and Hynes is somehow a worse clown show.

Brett McLean is gone now, so the hope is Iowa will be less of a clown show.

It’d be fun to run Öhgren-Eriksson Ek-Lekkerimäki.

Rossi Zucc and Brodin for Panarin Perrault and K’Andre??

You don't trade Zucc, Kap's sidekick. Like it's worth keeping a player on roster whose no longer that good to make one superstar happy. Doesn't Zic also have like a 15 or 20 team no trade? Rangers aren't trading Perrault
 
Wild fans are going to be v disappointed when they see the actual return.

First + top prospect is an overpayment (and wouldn't be the player they want anyways)

there are less teams that actually want rossi than many think
