3 Potential Trade Destinations for Wild's Marco Rossi


Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi has been among the top trade candidates of this offseason, but he has yet to be moved. While this is the case, there is still a chance that the former first-round pick gets dealt before the start of the season. Let's discuss three teams who could look to acquire him now. 

Philadelphia Flyers: The Philadelphia Flyers have been looking to add to their forward group down the middle. When noting that they are a rebuilding squad, a young, promising forward like Rossi should certainly grab their attention. He would give their top six a nice boost and could thrive playing with the Flyers' top stars. 

Montreal Canadiens: The Montreal Canadiens have been connected to Rossi, and it would not be too shocking if they are still interested. They need a boost down the middle, and Rossi would have the potential to give them a long-term one. Thus, the Canadiens are clearly a club to watch over these next few months when it comes to Rossi. 

Utah HC: Utah HC has had a busy summer thus far, but they may not be done making moves just yet. It is no secret that they could use another forward in their top nine, and Rossi would be a great option for them because of it. He would also have the potential to be a nice addition to their power play if acquired.
