<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>What I mean is that it’s a potentially catastrophic piece of asset management. Rossi for 17 would probably be a wash at best in terms of how good a player you get but you’d have to wait 4-5 years to see it rather than 1-2.

As for the Addison deal, I have a few posts above talking about what players like him go for in terms of trade value. Suggesting a mid-late 2nd a year away is unbearably poor asset management IMO.

I don’t mind decisive action but you need to leverage the assets you have rather than giving them away, which I think this return would be akin to.</div></div>

You make a good point. If Bill Guerin can get a 2nd round pick for Jordan Greenway, it would make sense he would try to get more than that for Addison, who has a much higher upside IMO. Of what I can remember, he has yet to sell low on a prospect (or any player for that matter) during his tenure. Obviously Greenway and Addison are different positions, ages/arcs in development curve.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>There's nothing going on with Rossi. He's been near a PPG down in the AHL, and his level of play is impressive when considering he missed an entire year of crucial development due to Myocarditis.

If you're asking why he wasn't in the NHL this year. It's because Guerin/Wild organization don't like rushing prospects and even though Rossi wasn't playing bad, he was playing sound defensive hockey at a minimum, his offense wasn't where they wanted it at the beginning of the year so he got sent back down. The plan, initially, was just to get his confidence and scoring ability back on track then call him up again. However, the play of other call ups, namely both Connor Dewar and Mason Shaw kept them in the lineup. Ergo... there wasn't a realistic spot for Rossi on Minnesota's roster until the injury to Joel Eriksson-Ek a couple of games ago

Thems the breaks. 🤷‍♂️</div></div>

^. And just to emphasize the health issues, everyone compares Rossi to Matt Boldy, but if you take into account the year he missed due to Myocarditis, he's actually two years behind Boldy in development (2020 draftee and the health year). So next season would be the equivalent season to when Boldy first entered the NHL, in which he played only a half season anyway. So there shouldn't be any panic on his development at this point, in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>howmuchcurrycanyoueat</b></div><div>I don't see how Duhaime gets over 1M or how Gaudreau gets less than 2.5M. Based on comparables (Husso, Vaneck, Georgiev etc) Gustavsson likely gets like 3.5M+ too. Might as well just trade Zuccarello, Hartman and Foligno and re-tool while Suter and Parise's buyouts are on the books.</div></div>

I think of the three you mentioned, Foligno is the most likely to be moved, then Zuccarello. I don't think it makes sense to move Hartman at his salary. I think you can only move one of Kaprizov's line mates this summer, especially when you have no one obvious to replace them at the moment. Trading any of those three players is definitely more aggressive and depending on how playoffs go, might be more palatable.
