Joe Smith and Michael Russo from The Athletic suggest that the trade market for Minnesota Wild’s Marco Rossi has diminished, especially after Brock Nelson’s three-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche removed potential replacements. They note that key free agents like John Tavares and Sam Bennett wish to remain with their teams, while other top centers are off the market, leaving the Wild with limited options. As time progresses, it seems more likely Rossi may have to consider a shorter-term contract, rather than risk not starting the season on time due to a holdout.
