New Team Linked to Wild's Marco Rossi in Trade Rumors

*sings to self*

The circus never ends, my friends, my friends.  

The longer this Rossi thing continues, the increased likelihood of BG fubar-ing this thing up.

If we trade Rossi for another young D-man I'm done trying to understand bill's long-term plan and will determine that there is no plan

Billy and lots of people have said Rossi is the best trade chip as part of a package to get a better center.  If he is instead traded for a winger or d-man, how does this help the center position?

Billy is already strongly linked to Boeser, please don’t trade Rossi unless it is for another center.  Yurov might be great or might have a learning curve, either way, it is too much to expect 60 points from him out of the gate.

I thought Byram was a smaller D, turns out he's 6'1" 205. Did they just make this up knowing I'd look?

If this is the direction we are going in, then where do we go with Brodin? Seems that he'd be the odd man out. 

Then, where do we go with forwards? 

If we resign Byram, it will likely be for higher than Brodin makes, and Brodin is a very valuable defender. I thought you were supposed to trade from your strengths, not keep accumulating the same strengths? Am I missing something here? 

I do think there is a deal to be had here, I'm just not sure that Peterka is so much better than Rossi if we switched Rossi to wing. Now, if a deal is going to include Tuch, you've got my ear.

Rossi is a (pretty good) center, nothing else. 

If you package Rossi and Spurgeon for Peterka and Byram I could at least understand it, but Rossi for a defenseman? No.  We have those.

I saw a blurb this weekend, from maybe Frank Seravalli, that VAN was offering up the 15th pick in the draft and SillyG was shopping that around for a player they actually wanted.

Because we already know Hartman is, "fine or good in a certain situation), and Yurov is"We don't fucking know," Rossi being pretty good solves a lot.

Worth asking!
