Marco Rossi Contract Standoff: Will the Minnesota Wild’s Rising Star Walk Away?
He had a 24-goal, 60-point season in only his second full year. And so you look at the comparables, and he probably deserves significantly more than what the Wild are offering. But the Wild do not want to go over Matt Boldy, and I don’t even think they want to go in the $6 million range.
So then you add in the complication that he was demoted to the fourth line during the playoffs. And I think he’s a little worried about signing some sort of bridge deal right now to a lesser value, and then getting buried and not being able to really prove himself fully over the term of that bridge deal and hit that home run contract next time. So it’s going to be really fascinating where this goes right now.
