The Wild Don’t Want to Future in Marco Rossi Trading, Recent Deals Strengthen Rossi’s Case
Michael Russo and athletic Joe Smith: Marco Rossi signed a three-year, $5 million deal with Minnesota Wild on Friday. He will owe him $6 million in eligibility offers after the 2027-28 season. There was no trade protection for three years.
Last season, Rossi rejected a five-year, $5 million offer based on the comparability of Ryan Strome (five years and $25 million) and Anton Lundell (six years and $30 million). Rossi demanded more than $5 million in the short term, while Wild fought back against short-term deals for less than $5 million in June.
Recent long-term deals reinforce Rosie’s case – Logan Stankoven (eight years, $6 million), Matthew Coronato (7 years, $6.5 million), JJ Peterka (five years, $7.7 million) and Matthew Knies (6 years, $7.75 million).
