I get that a lot of Rossi's production is "because Kaprizov"...and he might not be a great fit away from that. And you're sorta paying "extra" for that, where unlike Hartman...he might not be "worth it" in other ways if he's not stapled to Kaprizov. But the only way it makes sense to me for Minnesota to move him, is if they're packaging him with other stuff to get an actual upgrade on that "de facto 1C" role somehow. And i'm really not sure "that guy" is actually on the market anywhere.


Someone like Barzal or Brock Nelson out of Long Island maybe...but i don't think that helps Minnesota much in their dead cap crunch. Malkin as an old man if he actually decides he's okay with being dealt? Zegras in Anaheim...but Rossi isn't the piece they'd want back at all, so it'd have to be a multi-stage deal?

Panarin 50% retained + Lindgren 50% retained for Rossi + Middleton + Gaudreau (or other bottom six to help with cap) + Ohgren + 1st.

Even though I’ll get laughed at about Panarin being included.

I’ve thought about it a bit in the past and Bread for 2 more playoffs at only 5.8M is pretty tremendous value, plus putting him and Kaprizov together on the PP? Perennial 90-100 point winger at a very affordable cap hit for 2 runs to a team that needs affordable contracts due to the Parise/Suter buyouts, but is having a great year?

Take Middleton/Lindgren out of the deal if you want (I see them fairly equally, just think Middleton’s physicality would be welcome for NY). Rossi + Prospect + 1st for Panarin (not as a rental) at 50% isn’t crazy… I don’t think.
