GDT: G17: Wild vs. Stars | 7PM CDT

Yes that is always the argument whenever Rossi gets the short end of the stick. Fact is whenever there is more responsibility to be handed out he gets less and less of it. But this has been discussed several times now. I do not see Rossi's situation changing anytime soon. Can't really ask much more from Rossi and hope he earns the confidence of the coaching staff. It is what it is and when the team is winning the coach is right.

He actually produced with just about anyone, see last year. This narrative doesn't hold up at all. Actually he is even producing this year the few times he has been thrown somewhere else than the first line. But this is not entirely about Rossi but the team doing what is best to win. Putting him on the third line when you are missing 2 top 6 forwards isn't it.

Exactly. We aren't comparing Rossi to stalwarts here. Hynes is choosing to play Gaudreau and Marjo over him.

Or maybe he's playing them to try and get them going. If Rossi can produce with anyone it's a win win as he can get Trenin and Foligno to chip in offensively and then free up Gaudreau and Johansson to work in the lines and chip in there offensively and spread out the offense.

You're arguing in favor of something we know didn't happen. Spreading the offense didn't work, and nobody produced until it was changed.

Normally I'm in favor of giving a change more than 2 periods before judging it, but those two periods were extremely bad. Even a large improvement might not be enough.

That's why they dropped Ohgren and Milne. It's going to take a few more games to get them going.
