- It’s not new that the Minnesota Wild might trade 23-year-old center Marco Rossi this summer. The team clearly does not value him as a top-six center, so before locking him up to any contract as a restricted free agent, they’re going to trade him for some sort of player that aligns more with their philosophy for roster construction. But what is new is some specific teams being reportedly interested. Among them are the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks , and Seattle Kraken. [RG.org]
