Article: Guerin Could Have Prepared For the Marco Rossi Situation Last Summer

Guerin COULD have signed him on the cheap a year ago.  Other players signed for more despite way less production.  Rossi earned his paycheck, but now Guerin looks at the shiny new Yurov ball and says, "DO WHAT ROSSI DID BUT BETTER NOW!"

Yurov now has the baggage he shouldn't have because Guerin, Rossi, the agent, or all of them couldn't figure out this shit sooner.

He’s done everything the organization has asked him to do will this sentence be mentioned on EVERY Rossi article until the end of times? is he some kind of anomaly? don't all players are being asked to give it their all? 🍻

and when it’s time to reward him, they move the goalposts and ask for something else. i think they wanted to see a bit more of Rossi, specifically can he lead and elevate his play when it matters - the answer wasn't positive. So not sure what the expectation is. 

Chris - you are the GM - what do you do? What is the contract right now that you sign Rossi to?

Negative comments about Rossi performance on the Wild are not warranted.  Direct them to Guerin and Hynes.  Hynes was out coached badly in the playoffs.  It matched his previous lack of performance in the playoffs.  Rossi should have been playing ahead of others on that team in the playoffs.  But Guerin and Hynes decided to go with some of those stiffs that needed smelling salts just to stay awake.  I believe Rossi was the third or fourth highest goal scorer on the team this year and played in every game I believe.  What a way to treat players.  Guerin has done a rotten job with most of the young players and their development.

I'm pretty sure Kotkaniemi was signed from Montreal to Carolina with an offer sheet around 2020.

Yes in 2021 Montreal did not match.  I read that Carolina did that as payback for Montreal offering Aho two years earlier.  The last one not matched before that was 2007.
