23-Year-Old CenterC
Minnesota Wild
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taken by the Wild with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, Rossi spent a couple of seasons dominating the AHL before establishing himself as a full-time player at the top level. He did well in his first full NHL campaign, recording 21 goals, 40 points and 47 PIM across 82 contests while averaging a respectable 16:44 of ice time. The soon-to-be 23-year-old spent some of the past season on a line with Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello and will likely log an even greater portion of the 2024-25 campaign in that role. Rossi has significant untapped upside, so when you consider his potential and the opportunities he's likely to get, there's plenty to like here. It'd be a gamble to pencil him in for 60 points this season, but it's also not unreasonable to hope for that kind of jump in production. Read Past Outlooks

Picks up assist in loss
CMinnesota Wild
October 13, 2024
Rossi recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Rossi added three shots and a plus-1 rating in 18:42 of ice time. Through three games, the left-shot center has three points while a filling a first-line role and a spot on the power play. Rossi skated in all 82 contests in 2023-24 -- he potted 21 goals and added 19 assists in his first full NHL campaign. The 50-point mark could be within reach for Rossi in 2024-25, considering he's centering skilled forwards Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Rossi missed the entire 2020-21 season due to the side effects of a positive COVID-19 test, so all that mattered this past year was that he returned to full health. He passed that test with flying colors, playing 63 games for Minnesota's AHL affiliate in Iowa and posting 53 points. Rossi also saw a brief two-game stint with the Wild. Rossi was widely viewed as the most NHL-ready player in the 2020 draft behind No. 1 overall pick Alexis Lafreniere, so he should have a real chance to crack the Wild lineup this coming season. Rossi, the No. 9 overall pick in that same draft, is a worthy dart throw in deeper fantasy formats.
There was talk of Rossi potentially jumping straight to the NHL after being the No. 9 overall pick by Minnesota in 2020, but the Austrian developed serious side effects after testing positive for COVID-19 and ended up missing the entire 2020-21 season. Rossi had to take things extremely slowly before returning to the ice, but he isn't expected to have any restrictions as the 2021-22 campaign begins. However, it's essentially impossible for the Wild to count on Rossi this year considering all the time he's missed. His time away from the game won't impact his long-term ceiling, but it seems likely to be at least another calendar year before those in redraft leagues should take a flier on Rossi.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be moved for right offer
CMinnesota Wild
June 4, 2024
Rossi's name continues to circle in trade rumors, and he could be traded if the Wild receive a significant offer, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Rossi is coming off a fantastic rookie campaign in which he notched 21 goals and 19 helpers in 82 games while also chipping in six power-play points. The 22-year-old center would likely return strong value for the Wild but would potentially leave a hole in the middle of the second line. Still, Minnesota has a handful of center prospects in the pipeline according to Russo, which could entice the club to move Rossi for the right price.
