Nice little write-up. Mostly about his offseason and where he's going to go.

From the article: "Rossi thinks he can provide more offense. He spent the summer working on his shot and creating more opportunities to change the angle. He focused on getting out of corners and making plays.

Is a 30-goal season in play?

“I think that’s of course possible,” he said. “There were a few opportunities I missed. I’ve been working on it.”

  1. Rossi seemed to have trouble finishing good plays last season. I think he left maybe 5 goals on the table. I think 30 goals is possible for sure.

  2. Idk I played HLM24 on my phone and simmed until well past Rossi retired, he had three 100+ point seasons and reached about 1200 points in his career so I think we have something good on our hands here

  3. Rossi is committed, man. Idk how GMBG trades him in the next year. Been a believer, still a believer. One more year of cap hell for everyone to establish who’s stayin’ and who’s goin’.

  4. I’ll predict 25 goals and 30+ assists as long as MoJo can get his mojo back in his contract year.

    If the lines are the same as they are on [daily faceoff](https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/minnesota-wild/line-combinations) right now then I am expecting 30 goals 40 assists because that’s what playing with Kap and his besty does, and he already has chemistry with Zuccy from spending so much time with him last year. It’ll be a small first line but they can do some damage on the scoreboard no doubt.
