Value of: Marco Rossi

[DigitalBoldy]

I don't believe the assets aren't there.

The asset is there. It's Knies. No kicking and screaming now, because you were the one that asked.

I don't think Minnesota will get that caliber of player from any team, especially if It's true that Geruin doesn't even want him.

Personally I don't think they should trade him.

I think trading your 23 year old 60 point center is a bad idea.

Haven’t gone through all the thread’s pages yet, but anything from MTL that’s enticing? I wish he was bigger, but you can’t deny the skill

Disagree.

I agree with you. I think the return will be underwhelming. The size always reduces the value of this player. If it didn't he wouldn't have gone 9th after 120 points in 56 OHL games in his draft year. His play and usage down the stretch certainly won't leave a great last impression either. Transitioning to this for what I think could be a realistic return:

I think Hage+ is realistic. I don't think it's a big plus though. The dream would be Hage + one of the 1sts this year, essentially what we got for Fiala who was more productive, but older, played a less desirable position, and had his own warts. I do wonder if MTL might be hitting their quota already on little guys though.

There have been a lot rumors that Marco Rossi might be on the trade block. Both Hynes (HC) and Guerin (GM) don't seem to be big fans of Rossi. Besides Kaprizov and Gustavsson are gonna get huge raises next season, Rossi could be the odd man out due cap reasons.

Rossi had a good rookie campaign (All-Rookie team 2024) and is almost a PPG player in his current sophomore season (6g + 11a = 17p in 20 games) so far.

What would your team give up for him? Whats his value in your opinion?

Casey + 2026 1st + Palat

for:

Rossi + 2026 3rd

We wouldn’t be taking back a cap dump in a trade.

There is a lot of Pejorative Sluration among the GMs. Coaches don't last, so why prioritize a coach over a young player?

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Casey + 2026 1st + Hamilton

for:

Rossi + 2026 3rd

"No contract with cap coming back."
"Okay what about a $9m cap hit D on a three year deal?"

Lol...

Any "Dougie Hamilton to Minnesota" trade would logistically have to involve Spurgeon. I would consider a Hamilton Spurgeon deal to be HIGHLY unlikely though. Hamilton will go to a team that needs RHD. Minnesota doesn't need RHD. The end.

Defense is not a position of need. Palat is 34.

No thanks.

I don’t think they’d be a fan of Casey was we’re pretty set with Buium playing a similar role. I like how you tried to slide Palat in there too lol.

Depends on what the + with Mercer is. He's been pretty disappointing the last couple years.

I'm sorry because I'm sure it's already been asked. Has he played at wing and could that be a better position for him defensively? Or is that going to mute his playmaking too much or make him pout.

What are you even doing with Rossi behind Hughes and Hischier?

Never played wing, don't know what it would do to his game, he wouldn't pout

Hughes and Nico are hurt often. We want a good 3c to hedge our bets.

They are the same caliber.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No catch really. He's good young top 6 C, thats good in all 3 zones. Something the Wild have needed for basically ever.

Despite that, there is belief mostly pushed by Russo(although I should mention that he said in a radio hit that he doesn't agree with the Wilds thinking) that the wild aren't ready to commit to him long term. The reasons for that are unclear, but seem to be a combination of he's on the smaller side, they think Yurov will be better and then Rossi would be 3C, he'd command to much money.

All the reasons people come up with seem silly to me. If Yurov is better, I'm not sure there is a C in the game that can't play wing. And last I counted you need 6 top 6 forwards.

I'd argue you need at least 7 top 6 forwards OR 5 top 4 D.

Every Stanley cup champion I've ever seen has had 1 of 2 things and usually both.

Either at least 1 guy on the 3rd line good enough to be in the top 6.

OR a guy on the 3rd pair good enough to be in the top 4.

Especially when he lost a year plus due to COVID, has shown a strong work ethic, and will most like ly get better.
Hope this is all conjecture and nonsense.
I mean, in the playoffs he was demoted to 4th line and all he did was score, twice.

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Wild GM generally don't like small players probably why he's listening on Rossi.

He doesn't seem to mind small players. I think he's putting importance on size at the center position.

 

[Goatlender]

Any interest in a package centred on 15th overall + ?

 

[Canovin]

The Oilers don't have the pieces for him, but would think he excels in Edmonton as the #2C
