Article: Wild Offered Sabres Marco Rossi for JJ Peterka, Were Rejected

[Beast]

Billy G. screwed the pooch on this one, among other things.

He thinks so lowly of the guy that they demoted him to the 4th line in the playoffs.  They trusted him less than a guy they just salary dumped ($2M salary) for a throw away pick.  He’s also fairly desperate to offload him because they don’t feel he can play playoff hockey, and it’s not a well kept secret.

Then, with a straight face, he tries to convince teams he’s worth a big return on the trade market.  He’s asking teams to trade high end assets THEN have to extend the guy for $7-8 mil per year.

Now, he’s left with no free agent center options and a young promising center for which teams will likely give him pennies on the dollar.  He’ll probably end up paying him more than he should, along with someone like Boeser who will stink here for the next 6-8 years.

Some of the lowest IQ GMing you’ll ever see.  I don’t know that I’ve seen a GM box himself into a corner like this.  Zero foresight.  It’s time for him to go.

Also a known fact that myocarditis is caused by Covid and other viruses of a similar nature. There are known cases of people dying from exertion following COVID that did not get vaccinated and there wasn't anything I've found that suggested he was vaccinated prior to his health situation.

What was reported is that Rossi was diagnosed with COVID-19 in November of 2020, and continued to feel fatigued for several months. Vaccines were not available until at least December.

You are correct that it was not Guerin's fault that Rossi had myocarditis or that he lost a bunch of weight and strength, and delayed his hockey development for at least a year. There are plenty of other health concerns that delay or derail prospects entirely. Rossi still has plenty of development potential and may become a much better player than he has shown to date.

Hang on.  You’re coming on here and speculating that Rossi only developed myocarditis because he did not receive the experimental unvetted “vaccine” (they had to change the definition of vaccine to call it a vaccine)?

A “vaccine” that we still have no long-term safety testing on, and probably never will because an absolute lack of transparency and outright fraud surrounding the very limited to no safety testing that was performed?

A “vaccine” that the experts were so unsure of, at best, that they had to codify immunity from liability to its manufacturers/distributors?

A “vaccine” that the guy who was a pioneer in the research of MRNA treatments said was too unstudied and potentially volatile to be distributed en masse?  After which comments he effectively lost his license, for some reason?

Even though you’re not sure whether he was vaccinated or not, with a “vaccine” we know positively also causes/caused myocarditis among other things, and didn’t actually prevent anyone from getting COVID after we were assured it did for 2 years?  To the extend that it was just removed from the recommended vaccine schedule for children?

In other words, blaming Rossi for not getting the “vaccine,” and that he’d be a better hockey player right now if he had, and the Wild wouldn’t have this problem?

Just want to clarify.

13 picks in and 10 centers picked. It's almost like centers are important on ice hockey teams...

I'm not sure if you took a masterclass in misrepresentation or if you simply lack the reading comprehension in your current state to follow along with the timeline before you blast some narrative, so I'll restate it for you.

Rossi got sick BEFORE a vaccine was released. Why would I blame him for that???

My coworker's sister, an athletic woman under 30 years old, contracted Covid from a wedding in early 2021 and died while on a run about a week later. I only found out the details from running into a former coworker at a concert who was cousins with them. Now, that coworker's wife listened to Rush Limbaugh essentially every day, so you can perhaps guess how they leaned in their views. With all of the misinformation out there, I don't blame her either.  In any case, he said it was the saddest funeral he'd ever been to with a bunch of young kids weeping for their friend after they'd all celebrated a wedding with her just a couple weeks earlier.

I have relatives in Western MN who listen to the conspiracy news that you likely do and my Aunt died of Covid. My dad told me she was fine one week that he saw her, and the next week, he heard she was sick with Covid and within 10 days, she was dead. She wasn't young, but she wasn't on death's door before that either.

To get back to the point of me responding to you, I haven't consumed a single piece of actual news that confirmed from Rossi that he had or had not been vaccinated, but it was confirmed that he got sick prior to a vaccine being released.

And yes, we should all pretend to be shocked that a vaccine for children recommendation has changed under the watchful eye of an anti-vaxxer that someone put in charge. And I'm also shocked that children are dying from measles in the United States again after having essentially eradicated it from the country over 20 years ago. Well, maybe not shocked, but it's fairly sad.

To clarify, since it was perhaps not readily apparent from my first post, I don't blame Rossi, anyone who is part of the Wild, anyone in the hockey community, or anyone on this blog for Rossi getting sick with a highly communicable virus and suffering complications, particularly prior to a vaccine existing for it.

At no point in Rossi's communications of his ordeal did he ever indicate or suggest that he was vaccinated and had issues following a vaccination. I've only ever heard that suggested here, numerous times without any proof.
