Dan Wallace: Rossi To Iowa

All this previous talk about how Rossi earned making the team. Top 6 talent.

But coaches hold him down to bottom 6 minutes, and zero top PP time.

Sorry but players with his pedigree and the fact that he performed last season in the AHL.

And lead the pre-season ( I know it is only pre-season ) - warrants a greater opportunity for a longer period of time. Give him the chance especially on the top PP and see him produce, gain confidence and thrive.

The Wild missed an opportunity to play Rossi against Yotes with some open space out there. Nic D scored in his first game with the Wild last year and played well for a few games after and then was pretty ineffective. Reaves was decent last night but expect him to become irrelevant sooner than later.

4th line minutes or not, he brought nothing to the current roster, other than take stupid penalties.

He'll be fine, just needs some playing time.
