Player Discussion Marco Rossi

[Dr Jan Itor]

Again, the genesis of Rossi trade discussion is Russo putting him in rumors + Guerin bucking his recent normal trend with young players of getting extensions done early (Boldy, Faber, even Wallsted).

I have no feeling that anybody here actually wants to trade Rossi.

 

[Al Lagoon]

Nor should they. He's likely to get better too.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I’m really impressed at how far he has come. He’s a legit good player for them now and I can’t imagine they are still looking to move him. If anything the rumors look to be a motivation now, not serious.

IMO

I certainly don't dislike the lineup but Brock Nelson is going to command real term and salary and I find it hard to believe Guerin would go and get him just to play him in the bottom six. And it really seems like he's the team's big FA target come the offseason.

You underestimate BG's inability to resist his urges and not waste assets on trading for him around the deadline.

Russo ain't a guru. Good journalist, but all this trade Rossi is just BS, especially for a team chronically starved of good centers.
23 years old. I would guess he might improve having a mere 160 games of NHL experience.
Especially given the fact he has a work ethic.

Remember on draft day. many felt like he fell into the Wild's lap, like Boldy, like Wallstedt, like Buium.

Forces are at work here folks.

I don't think Russo is a guru or even very good at actually hockey analysis. But I'm 100% sure he has more Wild contacts in his phone than I do. So I can't outright dismiss things that he "reports".
