If the Wild trade Rossi, it won’t be for a pick. It would be for a different young forward with more size who can help the Wild now.

CGY 1st or Zary

It would be a price you do not want to pay

What is the source and what is the logic behind this?

The source is Michael Russo (most well connected beat writer for the Wild) saying that Rossi could be moved this summer in the right deal
Russo also mentioned that Rossi's name was floated around for Cutter Gauthier

The logic is Rossi isn't big and Guerin is obsessed with size (see Stramel pick)
They also believe Yurov will be ready to step into a top six center role in 2025-26

Yeah Russo is good. I was just asking on veracity.
If Guerin doesn't like someone it seems a high likelihood he is gone.

That's not happening.

Right, that's fine, but it's also not happening for VAN 1st or Mangiapane or really anything else from CGY

Russo isn't bad but he's too small for the bigger part of Conroy's plan to get both younger and bigger. Now if it was something like Pelletier + Vancouver's 1st / Calgary's 2nd the Flames might do it anyhow since they'd be replacing one small player with a bigger better small player. But you probably wouldn't like that either.

Okay. It was a Flames fan who made the thread trying to acquire him.
