I would offer Kent Johnson. He can’t play until like January but it may be a quality for quality swap.

That’s too rich of a price and I HIGHLY doubt Conroy moves Honzek. Flames would be better off keeping the Bigger Top Prospect. I wouldn’t Trade them straight up to be honest.

Why is Rossi being shopped? he had a good season and still has another year of ELC. Plus center is by far Minnesota's thinnest position

Center is no longer a position of long-term need for the Wild.

They drafted 3 centers last year and their top prospect (Yurov) is also a center. This is why Rossi might be moved for a missing piece of the puzzle.

I like Heidt but he will probably end up as a winger. Neither of Stramel or Kumpulainen project as top 6 centers. Yurov signed an extension with his KHL team, he's also by all accounts not a center.

None of this justifies trading Rossi now, as only Heidt has any legitimate chance of being an NHLer next year, and even then probably isn't jumping directly into a top 6 centers role

Yurov is a center and Height might also play center in the NHL. The Wild also have Khusnutdinov at center. The Wild anticipate Yurov as their future #1 center with Ek as number 2. Height might move to Wing initially, but the Wild see him as a long-term solution in the middle. Kumpulainen and Stramel are centers but both could end up on the wing.

Yurov is literally listed everywhere as a winger. Also maybe don't count your chickens before they hatch

Not remotely true! Do better research!

He is primarily a winger, and is reported as can play center. Once again don't count your chickens before they hatch

It's not that important, my point of him not coming to NA next season still stands

To be fair your points were way off the entire time. He played center on the championship team this year. He signed a 1 year to become a more complete player and be more consistent and get stronger. The Wild have 5 centers under contract this year. Ek, Rossi, Hartman, Khusnutdinov and Freddy. Ek isn't going anywhere. Hartman just signed a 4 year NMC. Khusnutdinov has no value as he hasn't established himself yet. Freddy has a bad contract and M-NTC. Rossi is the easiest to move and if they believe Yurov will be a 1c it forces Rossi out of the lineup. I think all fans would like to move Freddy/Hartman/Foligno/Zucc and a few other but the reality is Rossi has great value now and is the easiest to move.
