Value of: Rossi to Flyers

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Your team Canada wingers that helped bring you to... a bottom 6 finish. Works both ways.

And most of us here wouldn't have done either of those things with Rossi, and I don't think the OP was making any prediction of what Guerin is thinking about doing.

Oh yeah well I wouldn’t have had either of our wingers on the team Canada roster so jokes on you, it works both ways.

Oh wait….

 

[ctmagic]

Yeah right

So a 40pt winger gets you a 60pt center? Both 23 yrs old too. What’s a fair deal here?

How about Rossi/Trenin for Foester/Tippett?

 

[ctmagic]

I can’t see Philly being interested

Because of Tocchet? Philly looks like the could use a young skilled C. I’m a Rossi fan, would love to see him flourish there….

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Foerster is actually a great target for Minnesota.

 

[Hockeyfan200]

Foerster and Risto for Rossi and a cap dump if needed

wild have no need for Risto. They have no room on D and are completely stacked.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Would you believe it's an offensively inclined top six center?

The phrase Guerin used was someone to help lighten the load on Eriksson Ek.

 

[Hockeyfan200]

Jiricek and Buium are not going to play together. That seems like a recipe for disaster.

we have a loser coach in Hynes and GM in Bill Guerin who believe young players should earn their time

That's what we're gonna get, not what we need

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Soybanejad for Rossi

Billy Guerin Special.

I think Philly needs a young C more than anyone in the league but I just don’t think Briere will be interested in investing assets into another small center like Rossi when they’ve already got Luchanko in the system who they think is close.

 

[Sombastate]

Man, i would absolutely love Rossi. But i trust the Flyers to do exactly what you expect them to do, and targeting an undersized center isn't one of those things.

When have they ever put two rookies together?

It’s gonna be something like

Brodin-Faber 22 mins
Buium-Spurgeon 20 mins
Middleton-Jiricek 18 mins

 

[DigitalBoldy]

That's what we're gonna get, not what we need

What we need is a Barkov or Hintz type center. Not some generic offensive center.

have we ever had two rookies on the same team ? if we have I just genuinely don't remember

Everyone needs a top 10 C in the league, that should go without saying

 

[rynryn]

Rossi goes to the "hard" places more consistently than anyone else on the team and actually scores from there. I don't know what BGs problem is but I really don't think size is it. It seems like the obvious reason but I really don't think it is.
I think if the value is there another short player is okay tbh. Better an aggressive short guy than another fancy tallboi who avoids body contact.

Now that I think about, Jiricek isn’t really a rookie. I still don’t think they will play them together.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Rossi to Philly, Rossi jerseys will sell out in Little Italy even though Rossi is from Austria.
Rocky Balboa will be the first to buy his jersey.
Rossi and Michkov on the same line, its like Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago playing together.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

It’s not that. It’s more along the lines of needing another “all situations” center. Barkov and Hintz are just high end examples of that type.

Noah Cates or Sean Couturier sound like your guys

the only reason I have been saying this, Russo and that FSNNorth guy on their podcast have been suggesting they will start on the 3rd pair and work their way up

 

[Gregor Samsa]

We need top six centers, not bottom six centers

I was half joking but teams don’t usually trade top 6 centers. Almost every team is looking for at least one. Rossi seems to be one of the only options out there. Maybe a team likes him enough to trade one of their C’s for Rossi but usually if a team has 2 top 6 centers they keep them unless a change of scenery trade is warranted

I took it as they each need to earn their spot on the team in camp. Would be good to have a solid vet (not Bogo) next to each one to help them adjust.

 

[AKL]

but teams don’t usually trade top 6 centers.

Yeah I know that's why I don't know why we are
