Canes don't need or want Sturm. WAY better options for a 4th than that

I didn’t know what to do with him in the lineup, so I just made a random trade

Jon merrill was just resigned to 3 years deal . It was also reported Guerin met with team and told them essentially not to expect a trade, that a trade isn't walking into that lockerroom

Lmao switch Gaudreau and Rossi

I’ll say the same thing I said before, I don’t expect him to get traded but I didn’t want him in my lineup so I just traded him. It has no meaning

Rossi played like **** with boldy and fiala I’m pretty sure. Also the Freddy fiala boldy line has been the most consistent line recently for the wild. In my opinion

Rossi definitely isn't getting called up and Guerin is determined to make sure he doesn't get to 10 games

I agree, this lineup is kinda if we ever get extremely desperate, also I got a question, what if Rossi played in the playoffs would that count to his 10 games?

I think he has been playing there. Hartman-Gaudreau one-two punch.

No! He can play throughout playoffs and still slide.

Ok, so do you think we would call him up for playoffs? At least have him as a scratch or something?

Facing Mackinnon-Kadri-Jost or ROR-Schenn-Thomas . I just can’t see this team going far in the playoffs with their 2C a guy that’s been going up and down between the AHL and NHL the last few years

Playoffs absolutely count, so do not expect him to play.

Maybe. Harder to change horses mid-race with centers. But if he is one of four best centers, do it.

It’s based on game limit. So they could call him up for SCF and he could play 7-game series.

I’m well aware, but that’s not what he asked you. He asked if playoffs counted towards his 10 games, and you said no. Which is false.

Appearing on playoff roster would not burn his slide year.
Playing in playoff game would not either.
Appearing in 10 playoff games would.

It’s still based on # of games, not whether he just plays in playoffs or doesn’t play in playoffs.

He can get called up for SCF, play 7 games, and keep his slide.

Yes I’m aware of all that. Go back and read what he specifically asked you.

I understand the rule perfectly. You misunderstood his question and gave false info, so I was simply correcting that.

Ah, ok. I thought he was asking if playing in playoffs would count as the minimum while he was asking if those games would count toward the minimum.

I’m the dummy here.

I think they could include him on roster, play him in big games when needed, and probably be okay.

I dont think they’ll mess with the lineup like that, unless late April has some throwaway games. Which, doesn’t seem super likely, given that the race is gonna be too close.

Rossi is certainly good enough to play, but he’s not going to be a game changer. He needs to work on some things yet. He’s not impactful enough to justify playing in key games, and it’s unlikely we have throwaway games.

Gee, if I'm the Wild in getting ready for the playoffs, I'm not trading two players for meaningless picks.
