Marco Rossi Contract Standoff: Will the Minnesota Wild’s Rising Star Walk Away?
So here we are, knee-deep in the Minnesota Wild’s offseason swirl, and boy, ain’t it something — Marco Rossi at the heart of a contract standoff that’s got tongues wagging across the league. Now, you’d think after a 24-goal, 60-point blaze through just his sophomore full season, the talks would be smoother sailing. But nope — Rossi turned down a sizable five-year, $5 million deal, one that mirrors what players like Dylan Strome and Anton Lundell are pulling in. And that’s got the Wild’s brass scratching their heads, not willing to outbid Matt Boldy or even nudge into $6 million territory. It’s tense, it’s tricky, and with Rossi’s playoff demotion fresh in the rearview, he’s understandably hesitant to sign a short bridge deal that might stifle his shot at a bigger payday down the road. With conversations practically frozen for weeks and the front office playing a high-stakes game of chicken, the coming weeks are set to be a real thriller. The goalie situation is stirring too, but all eyes are squinting at this contract cliffhanger — and trust me, the drama isn’t cooling off anytime soon.
