GDT: G23: Blackhawks @ Wild | 1PM

[57special]

I'm so glad he did it. Totally worth 4 millions to get one shot on goal every 8th game or so.

It's 3.5M, even better than you thought!

I just see Rossi's point of view: You're an All-Rookie-team NHL'er in your sophomore season, pacing for 65-70 Points. You have played a good season so far, even if your coach demotes you sometimes to send a message, while others can do what they want - no consequences.

You've played an overall good game and in the 2nd period Hynes finally realises that it wasn't a great idea, splitting up Rossi/Kap.

Then you draw a penalty, 4:00+ minutes before the game ends. As reward for your strong performance you get your ass benched while every other top 6 forward + Trenin + Freddy get TOI.

Man I would be so pissed if I was Rossi, what else does he have to do to climb Hynes "ladder of trust"? What's that ladder for others?

I still think that is not the way you should handle your young, developing top 6 center.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the wild won but I'm not sure what else Rossi has to do to gain Hynes trust? Carry a line with trenin & Foligno on it? Thats not happening in this league.

This Rossi thing is easy to explain, they don’t want him putting up 80 points this year which makes him impossible to bridge for 5mx2 so he gets no pp1 times and he will not be in the ice for empty nets no maybe what.

You really need to take of your Rossi homer glasses. I already explained to you why he was not on the ice on the PP and it makes sense if you think about it. Just let it go…he keeps playing well and shows consistency he will get the nod even in the last minutes of a game. Still so much hockey to play this season and in his Wild career. Where would he go if he got all the opportunities just gifted to him? He is not a veteran.

It has nothing to do with "Rossi homer glasses". When I see an unfair treatment of a player I'm gonna say it. If Ohgren or Heidt were in the same Situation like Rossi, I'd criticize Hynes too about his treatment of Ohgren/Heidt.

We're talking about an All-Rookie NHL'er here in his sophomore season, who has done everything they ask of him so far without hesitation. He worked his ass of the last couple offseasons and is currently on pace for 65-70 points. He is most likely the third best forward on the wild so far this season and still he is the one who will need to gain Hynes trust. Others can do what the hell they want, no messages/consequences/benching.

I thought if you have a young promising player you do everything to help him succeed and get more experienced. I don't have that feeling woth Hynes & the Front office. Instead, Rossi is mostly the one in the doghouse and we can read trade rumors from Russo about Rossi for months now.

I'm sure Rossi is gonna have a fine & long NHL career. I just don't see it with the Wild anymore. If I were in his place I'd not sign any offer they make. They have treated him just awfully the last 2 years. I'd be pissed.

GGs.

Yet another game goes by watching the Hawks where Bedard is unnoticeable outside the PP.

Bedard 4 goals in 23 games
Celebrini 7 goals in 13 games

Just saying.....

Young players don’t get gifted time/ice. It always has been and always will be, unless they’re some generational talent.

It might piss you off to hear this but… Rossi isn’t a generational talent.

My counterpoint to your annoyance is that Rossi seems to be developing quite well, so they’re not really doing anything wrong in that department.
