Someone posted some rumor that him and Gustafson or however it's spelled are available.
I don't understand why they would trade him. May be they believe in Heidt, Yurov and Ek as their center core, Rossi isn't skilled enough to be first line center, may be even first liner, but he has some real value.his numbers are really good, he scores 21 goal. The question is he has some potential as pk forward. Overall he looks like a smart positionallt and good secondary producing player. I just don't see a reason to trade him now for them. Only if they want to deal him for a solid package.
If we will compare him to Helenius or Nygard - I would prefer players from the draft. Even with their zero experience in nhl. Both are more skilled, more dangerous players. Both more skilled, both have good hockey iq. If we compare him to catton, I don't know what to thinking, Catton is look like more dangerous player but more as a winger. I still think Nygard will be available so I would prefer pick.
If we compare Holtz and Rossi, it should be Rossi. It should be Rossib over Holtz on the draft. Not because I wanted Rossi, I didn't. I wanted Quinn, Jarvis and Mercer by our 7th pick after Sanderson was gone. But Holtz was not my priority at all. But Holtz isn't enough to trade him for Rossi. I really like Casey and I don't want trade Holtz plus Casey for Rossi. One for one... I think a lot of fans don't want it and I believe its not enough for Wild. I would not trade Gritsyuk for Rossi because our left winger depth is thin and Gritsyuk is very dangerous and talented player.
Overall I just don't see why wild would trade him - Rossi is a solid player, young, under control, they still have problems with the cap.
But if he is really available, or Khusnutdiniv - Fitz should make a call and ask Guerin how he is looking at potential deal.
If Yurov is available, I would offer 10th pick + any of other prospects + Holtz except Gritsyuk. Or 10th pick/Holtz + Gritsyuk.
