Player Discussion Marco Rossi

[Dr Jan Itor]

Could be that the team’s current “3rd” line has Foligno and Trenin on it.

Doesn't mean it always has to.

That’s fine. I don’t have a problem if they keep Rossi in the top 6. But I expect Yurov to make his way to a scoring line rather fast. Maybe they put Ek father back on the third line:

Kaprizov-Rossi-Zucc
Boldy-Yurov-Xhgren
Khusnutdinov-Eriksson Ek-Hartman
Foligno-Gaudreau-Lauko
Trenin

That’s a pretty deep forward group.

you forgot Boeser! The Wild have said they have a couple players identified for Free Agency already, Boeser to Wild is about as automatic as Vanek to Wild was

Agreed. However, Foligno/Trenin/Hartman/Gaudreau are locked in through at least the 26-27 season. A scoring 3rd line with Rossi would need to look like Khusnutdinov-Rossi-Hartman. Speed, playmaking, finishing. I like that mix.

100% view him as a target, but did not include players outside the organization. He would take Ewgren's spot if he is signed. Ehgren down to 3LW. Khusnutdinov to 4C.

Kap-Rossi-Zucc
Boldy-Yurov-Boeser
Yougren-Eriksson Ek-Hartman
Foligno-Khusnutdinov-Trenin
Gaudreau

It would be crazy if they signed Boeser and traded Rossi because they "couldn't afford to keep him" (or whatever they will say).

I don't consider Hartman to the same as the other 3, and I'd be eyeballing Ohgren or Heidt for that LW spot.

If we bridge Rossi at $5M next year and Khusnutdinov at $2M, we'll have ~$6.5M to spend depending on any overages this year, leaving ~$1M in space.

So like Heidt-Rossi-Hartman? That is good in my books. Ohgren-Rossi-Hartman might have too much of a shooter lean to it lol
