US EditionWild Re-Sign Center Marco Rossi to 3-Year, $15 Million Contract After Career-Best Season
The Minnesota Wild and Marco Rossi are close to agreeing on a short-term contract valued at about $5 million per season, allowing evaluation of his long-term fit.
- On Thursday, the Minnesota Wild re-signed Marco Rossi to a three-year, $15 million bridge contract carrying a $5 million salary-cap hit, giving the team flexibility to evaluate him as a top-line center.
- With talks stalled, negotiations between Marco Rossi and the Minnesota Wild broke down over his demand for a long-term deal, while the Vancouver Canucks and Seattle Kraken engaged in exploratory talks.
- Rossi's stat line shows 24 goals and 36 assists for 60 points in 82 games, a 20-point increase over 2023, while his playoff ice time dropped from 18:15 to 11:07 with two goals and one assist in six games.
- The deal gives Bill Guerin flexibility to evaluate Marco Rossi as a top-line center, benefiting Minnesota Wild fans while Rossi sacrifices potential earnings.
- Holding out past December 1 would make Marco Rossi ineligible for the 2025-26 season; if talks collapse, Vancouver Canucks and Seattle Kraken could re-engage, while Bill Guerin balances Kirill Kaprizov's extension.
