Speculation: Russo: Minnesota's Offseason Plan to Add Scoring

[toddkaz]

Rossi for Peterka does seem like a good base for a trade. Especially if Peterka wants out and Guerin doesn't want to pay Rossi

Would Minny match an offer sheet for 9.1 a year? Comp would be 1/2/3. Not sure the Flyers should do it and lose their own 1st.

From the Flyers? Go off king he’s all yours at 9.1

Something Minnesota & Buffalo fans share in common across all sports.

I'm too lazy to go through 9 pages, can someone tl;dr why the Wild would trade Rossi, a young top 6 centre who scores, to fix their scoring?

I doubt Guerin would. I don't think he wants to be in the Rossi for > $8M business.

Potential contract dispute.

Reportedly, Guerin doesn't want to pay Rossi more than Boldy's $7M and Rossi possibly wants $8M+.

He's small, and it seems the Wild's GM doesn't like small players.
To be fair, he's not alone in that. Maybe other GMs feel the same way.

Penguins would be all over Rossi. NYR 1st in play, your pick of middle 6 roster players and a rapidly improving prospect pool available.

This doesn't improve scoring
