Minnesota Reason for Trade:
MN looking to open cap, and Rossi's time looking limited due to him not meeting Guerin's size target.
Utah Reason for Trade:
Utah is in the middle of a rebuild with the bulk of it targeted around this and next season. A young center who is making his presence known and has chemistry with the new head coach? Definitely fits the bill.
Logic for why it works:
1) Utah looks like a good new home now that his old coach is in charge and has the hots for him.
2) For Minnesota to part ways with a 2C that was a Rookie of the Year nominee and solid producer they will need a good package as Center is a premium position and often yields crazy returns.
3) With the pick being more in the future, Utah keeps its chips in hand for the rebuild classes they are targeting and gets another pick now when they need it.
4) Mojo although being a rental will act as an offset for the Center premium along with the draft pick swap and will offer some experience and speed to their developing line-up at a very cheap contract (which sadly MN can't afford due to the 15M dead cap).
