Not hard to figure out why Conroy would ask about Rossi, but hard to figure out why Minnesota would listen.
~ 23 year old center going at 0.8 ppg seems like a guy you want to keep around.
~ Minnesota's buyout albatross flies away next year when Rossi is due for a raise.
~ Zuccarello currently on LTIR will come back at some point, but he started the year on the roster so they can fit him in.
~ Rossi has a $850,000 bonus clause. Not sure what the details are, but based on his numbers, he's likely hitting them all. Still, they have room for that next year.
~ They have no room to take on anyone from our roster with any kind of salary higher than Rossi's.
~ They may not be happy with Hartman's contract, but he has a full no move so it's not guaranteed he'd accept to be a salary dump.
Don't know. Don't know why they'd be willing to trade him
