<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a></strong> offseason continues to leave open chapters, mainly for the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> in their effort to extend Kirill Kaprizov’s contract heading into the 2025-26 season. With the recent signing of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi"><strong>Marco Rossi</strong></a> to a three-year deal, the latest developments suggest there could be positive signs for the franchise.</p>



<p>At the end of August, Rossi signed with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota</a> through the 2027-28 season on <strong>a three-year, $15 million contract, which averages $5 million annually</strong>. While it is a considerable amount, it is believed that it does not significantly interfere with the possibility of reaching new agreements.</p>



<p>With Rossi’s signing, the Wild have made it clear that they are in a position to strengthen a core of young players with growth potential. <strong>Rossi is a center who has established himself as an emerging prospect and a potential offensive weapon in the league</strong>. Meanwhile, the focus remains on left wing Kaprizov and the chances of him staying with Minnesota.</p>



<h2>Will Kaprizov continue in Minnesota?</h2>



<p>It is very likely that Kaprizov <strong>will soon sign an extension in Minnesota and solidify his future as a key piece of the franchise’s offense</strong>. NHL insider Frank Seravalli would said he believes Kirill Kaprizov “will sign an extension before the beginning of the season,” as the journalist mentioned on his podcast.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>In recent days, owner Craig Leipold confirmed that keeping Kaprizov is the number one priority, <strong>stating that the franchise plans to <em>“re-sign him, as no one will offer more money or more years” </em>than the Wild</strong>. Along those lines, an outstanding and remarkable contract is expected within the league’s landscape, aiming to establish a long-term bond with Kaprizov as a key player.</p>

<h2>What would be the possible offer from the Wild to Kaprizov?</h2>



<p>According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, <strong>Kaprizov’s new contract would be massive, projected to range between $14 and $15 million annually</strong>. As for the length of the deal, it is believed the franchise would pursue an eight-year agreement. All of Minnesota’s focus is on finalizing this deal, considering that securing the future of one of their best players is one of the Wild’s most urgent priorities.</p>

miniaturas

<p>The drama surrounding <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Marco Rossi</a> </strong>and the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> has really put both sides to the test. After a long summer, they finally agreed on an extension for the restricted free agent (RFA). However, a new report around the <strong>NHL </strong>suggests the relationship might not be built to last.</p>



<p>Sometimes a patch is better than an integral solution. That seems to be the thought in Minneapolis, <strong>where the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Wild</a> finally inked Rossi to a three-year, $15 million deal.</strong> The 23-year-old center will now be under contract through the 2027-28 NHL season.</p>



<p>However, a report around the league hints the two sides could part ways before the extension expires. The bridge deal signed in the Twin Cities might only be meant to be short-lived, but perhaps that’s for the best.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>I don’t know if Marco Rossi is going to finish out his term</strong> as a member of the Minnesota Wild,” </em>insider Elliotte Friedman stated on the<em> 32 Thoughts Podcast. “But I will bet you three years from now the Wild and Rossi will look back and say ‘it was a good thing that we did this and didn’t let this linger’.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250824_BUS_478337_marco-rossi-5-1024x576_9e7f2757.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marco Rossi looks on the ice" class="wp-image-451548" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/30172822/marco-rossi-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marco Rossi #23 of the Minnesota Wild against the New York Rangers at Xcel Energy Center.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The bigger picture</h2>



<p>Despite their best efforts to gain leverage, Rossi and Minnesota acknowledged their bidding battle had lasted long enough. Thus, a contract was finally signed. Now, the <strong>former first round pick in the 2020 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> entry Draft</strong> won’t miss the team’s training camp. </p>


        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/marco-rossi-signed-a-new-deal-with-the-wild-how-much-will-he-earn-compared-to-mitch-marner-with-the-golden-knights"></div>

        


<p>It’s in both sides’ best interests. Neither Rossi nor the Wild would have truly benefited from him being<strong> absent during the team’s return to the ice</strong> later in September. As the 2025–26 NHL season approaches, Rossi can now focus on showcasing his skills and proving he’s worth even more than a $5 million AAV deal.</p>



<h2>Time will tell</h2>



<p>As it stands, Rossi is now signed to the <strong>seventh-highest deal on the Wild’s organization</strong>. The Austrian playmaker ranks fourth among Minnesota’s forwards on average annual value, sitting behind Kirill Kaprizov (who is set for an even bigger extension), Matt Boldy, and Joel Eriksson Ek.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="68ab57959901c3ce28a46f74" data-title="Will Rossi finish out his three-year contract in Minnesota?" data-options="4"></div>


<p>Based on his production in the upcoming seasons, Rossi could further climb the salary ladder in Minnesota. <strong>However, if things head south instead</strong>, the 23-year-old might be headed for the exit door and into a new chapter in the NHL.</p>

Rossi and Wild might not last long together despite contract extension, report indicates

<p>The long situation of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marco Rossi</a></strong> with the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> has come to an end, as the forward signed a contract with the franchise despite interest from other NHL teams. His deal raises the comparison of how much he will earn annually in relation to another star like <strong>Mitch Marner</strong>, who made the move to the <strong>Vegas Golden Knights</strong>.</p>



<p>Rossi’s negotiation with the Wild did not prevent him from becoming a free agent, something that never happened with Marner, <strong>who completed a sign-and-trade with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vegas-golden-knights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden Knights</a> to secure his exit from the Toronto Maple Leafs</strong>, a deal that included Nicolas Roy in the exchange.</p>



<p>Rossi’s contract extension with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wild</a> was for three years, <strong>and now Minnesota has secured a key forward for its league aspirations. </strong>This starting point for the young center could lead him to be compared with established stars like Marner.</p>



<h2>How much does Marner earn compared to Rossi?</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mitch-marner" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marner</a>’s contract, taken on by Vegas,<strong> is an eight-year, $96 million deal, meaning the forward will earn $12 million per year.</strong> This figure doubles what Rossi will make with the Wild, who signed a $15 million deal over three years, averaging $5 million annually.</p>

<h2>Numbers matched with on-ice production</h2>



<p>Rossi reached this deal with Minnesota after a strong season in which he tallied 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) in 82 games played. <strong>Marner, on the other hand, nearly doubled that production by contributing 102 points</strong>, ranking as the fifth-highest scorer in the league.</p>

<p>The future of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marco Rossi</a></strong> with the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> is one of the most captivating storylines of the 2025-26 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a></strong> offseason. In this context, the forward has been coveted by multiple franchises, but there is a new update on his current status.</p>



<p>Rossi finished the 2024-25 regular season <strong>with 24 goals and 60 points in 82 games, although his ice time dropped significantly in the playoffs</strong>, raising questions about his future role with the team. After offers failed to produce a final agreement, it now seems a solution may be within reach.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wild</a> appear close to resolving the stalemate with their young center Rossi, <strong>who has yet to sign a contract as a restricted free agent.</strong> Negotiations seemed stalled until recently, but now there are concrete developments.</p>



<h2>An update on Rossi’s situation</h2>



<p><em>“<strong>There has been significant progress toward a possible signing of Marco Rossi by the Wild in the coming days.</strong> As we’ve been reporting, a bridge deal is the most logical option,”</em> NHL insider Michael Russo reported on his X (formerly Twitter) account.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250821_BUS_476608_Marco-Rossi-1024x576_e6d07931.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marco Rossi" class="wp-image-413750" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/07193917/Marco-Rossi.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marco Rossi of the Minnesota Wild</figcaption></figure>



<p>It is speculated that the most logical agreement would be a bridge deal, a short-term contract <strong>that would allow Minnesota to maintain control over the player while evaluating whether to offer a longer-term contract in the future.</strong> This type of deal would also allow for a potential future departure if circumstances require.</p>

<h2>Other interested franchises</h2>



<p>Rossi’s situation has attracted attention from other league teams. <strong>The Vancouver Canucks and Seattle Kraken have checked in with Minnesota regarding the status of the negotiations</strong>. Both franchises were in pursuit of Rossi during the Draft and have indicated they would re-enter the race if talks with the Wild reach an impasse.</p>

NHL News: Minnesota Wild receive latest update on Marco Rossi’s uncertain future

<p>One of the most prominent storylines of this <strong>NHL</strong> offseason undoubtedly involves the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Marco Rossi</a></strong>. The talented player still has to finalize his contract situation soon, hoping to avoid a scenario similar to that experienced by a teammate of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a></strong> with the <strong>Toronto Maple Leafs</strong>.</p>



<p>As long as his situation remains unresolved, <strong>one possibility is that Rossi could skip training camp</strong> — something that, judging by recent precedents, could prove detrimental heading into the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season.</p>



<p><em>Sportsnet writer Michael Amato</em> brought up a recent case similar to that of the Wild’s rising star. <strong>William Nylander</strong>, a teammate of Matthews in Toronto, <strong>skipped training camp in 2018</strong> — and his <strong>performance declined noticeably afterward</strong>.</p>



<p><em><strong>“Back in 2018, William Nylander didn’t settle his new deal until December and ended up having a nightmare campaign,”</strong></em> Amato wrote. <em>“The worst statistical season of his career.”</em></p>

<h2>Rossi’s current situation with the Wild</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a> are locked in a tense contract standoff with their rising star center, Marco Rossi, as the team’s training camp looms closer. As a restricted free agent, Rossi’s camp is reportedly seeking a long-term deal that would cement him as a core piece of the franchise, while the Wild’s front office, led by <strong>General Manager Bill Guerin, appears to prefer a short-term bridge contract. </strong></p>



<p>Despite Rossi’s breakout 60-point season, which established him as a key offensive threat, the two sides remain far apart on a financial figure. The impasse has created a cloud of uncertainty, raising concerns among fans that the young forward could potentially hold out and miss the start of the season if an agreement isn’t reached soon.</p>



<h2>Nylander’s rough experience</h2>



<p>In the high-stakes world of professional hockey, missing training camp can have a tangible impact, and few examples are more telling than <strong>William Nylander’s 2018 holdout with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a></strong>. After his contract stalemate stretched into December, Nylander ultimately signed and joined the team, but the missed preparation was starkly reflected in his on-ice performance. </p>


        


<p>Following two consecutive 61-point seasons, his production plummeted, as he managed just 27 points in 54 games. The statistical drop-off from a 0.74 point-per-game pace to a mere 0.50 was a clear reminder that a full preseason is critical, and a player’s return to form after a long absence is rarely instantaneous.</p>

Marco Rossi strongly warned with example of Auston Matthews' Maple Leafs teammate

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a> </strong>are entering a tense offseason as restricted free agent <strong>Marco Rossi</strong> remains unsigned, leaving his future with the team uncertain. Rossi, a 2020 first-round pick, scored 60 points in 82 games last season, finishing second on the team in scoring and establishing himself as one of the league’s rising stars. With his prime years approaching, Rossi is seeking a long-term contract to secure his future.</p>



<p>At the same time, the Wild appear hesitant to commit to a long-term deal at the scale Rossi’s camp reportedly desires. According to<em> Anthony Di Marco</em> of <em>Daily Faceoff</em>, <strong>Rossi’s representatives were rumored to be seeking a seven-year deal worth around $49 million</strong>, but Minnesota’s management does not feel comfortable making that commitment at this time.</p>



<p>The standoff has created growing speculation about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Rossi</a>‘s participation in the upcoming training camp, raising questions about whether the forward could potentially sit out if a satisfactory agreement isn’t reached.</p>



<h2>Could Marco Rossi sit out training camp?</h2>

<p>“<em>Training camp will be kind of where the rubber meets the road there. It’s like are you going to come back and play for us at the number we want? Or are you going to sit out?” </em>Robinson explained.</p>

<p>The prolonged discussions leave both parties weighing their next moves. Rossi wants to play for Minnesota, while the team seeks either a favorable contract or a potential return in a trade.</p>



<h2>How the Wild are handling the situation</h2>



<p>Wild General Manager <strong>Bill Guerin</strong> has indicated that the team is prepared to match any offer sheet for Rossi, signaling their commitment to retaining him. <em>“We’re prepared. We will match. It’s not an issue with us,” </em>Guerin said. Historical precedent shows that preparation is key when offer sheets are submitted, and Minnesota is ready to respond appropriately.</p>

Rossi's contract dispute with Wild reportedly could intensify before training camp

<p>The <strong>Minnesota Wild </strong>have been through a frenzy in the <strong>NHL</strong> offseason. As if the drama surrounding restricted free agent (RFA) <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Marco Rossi</a></strong> and <strong>Kirill Kaprizov’s</strong> projected ground-breaking extension weren’t enough. Now, the Wild have made a shocking decision ahead of training camp.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Wild</a> currently feature the <strong>third-oldest roster in the NHL by average age</strong>, according to <em>Elite Prospects</em>. Still, general manager <strong>Bill Guerin</strong> might believe they are in need for a bigger veteran presence in the locker room and on the ice.</p>



<p>As Rossi remains without a contract in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Kaprizov’s projected contract value continues to rise, the Wild are trying to take their minds off those candid topics in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. However, Minnesota steered away from them <strong>only to touch on another scorching theme</strong>.</p>



<p>As announced by the organization, the Wild has signed veteran defenseman and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup">Stanley Cup</a> champ <strong>Jack Johnson to a professional tryout (PTO)</strong>. This signing means the 38-year-old blueliner will compete in training camp for a spot on the franchise’s NHL roster next season.</p>

<p><em>“Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed defenseman Jack Johnson to a professional tryout (PTO)</em>,” the statement on <em>NHL.com</em> read.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/marco-rossi-contract"></div>


<h2>Expected fuss</h2>



<p>Although Johnson’s pedigree reads Stanley Cup champion for his contribution to the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, <strong>he isn’t precisely widely-acclaimed in the NHL</strong>. His offensive numbers won’t blow anybody away, and his defensive production follows a similar trend.</p>



<p>In the NHL, coaches and players seem to be on a carousel, and Johnson’s signing to a professional tryout (PTO) signals just that. Fans are growing tired of the same faces getting chance after chance. <strong>They would like to see some fresh legs for a change.</strong></p>

<h2>Let’s get Wild</h2>



<p>Still, <strong>that doesn’t take anything away from a veteran like Johnson</strong>. The 38-year-old has earned his spot and will battle to earn a place on the Wild’s opening night roster when training camp and preseason come around.</p>

<p>As for the Wild, they still have an urgent order of business to get done before the 2025–26 NHL season kickstarts. <strong>Re-signing Rossi is at the top of the list</strong>, along with extending Kaprizov’s contract. Once that’s taken care of, the puck will drop, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/nhl-teams-that-have-never-won-a-stanley-cup">chase for the first Stanley Cup</a> in the State of Hockey will be back on.</p>

Amid Rossi drama and Kaprixov's imminent extension, Wild turn heads with veteran signing

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild"><strong>Minnesota Wild</strong></a>‘s offseason remains unsettled as negotiations between the team and young forward <strong>Marco Rossi</strong> continue without resolution. Both sides remain divided over the financial terms of a new contract, with a wide gap between Rossi’s salary expectations and what the Wild are willing to offer.</p>



<p>At just 23 years old, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Rossi</a> is coming off a breakout 2024-25 season, tallying <strong>24 goals and 60 points</strong>—an improvement of 20 points over the previous campaign. Drafted ninth overall in 2020, Rossi has steadily established himself as a top-six forward and a key part of Minnesota’s future plans.</p>



<p>General manager <strong>Bill Guerin</strong> stated on July 1: <em>“We’d rather make a deal with Marco,”</em> according to <em><a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/minnesota-wild-confident-about-resigning-marco-rossi-kirill-kaprizov" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">NHL.com</a>.</em> While Guerin didn’t explicitly call it the final task of the offseason, the urgency to resolve the contract before training camp is clear, especially as negotiations have stalled since early June.</p>



<h2>How far apart are Marco Rossi and the Wild on contract value?</h2>



<p>Reports indicate Rossi is targeting a long-term deal with an average annual value (AAV) between <strong>$6 million and $7 million</strong>. Analytics group <em>AFP</em> projects his market value at approximately $7.4 million annually on a seven-year contract. However, Minnesota’s cap situation appears to limit their offer closer to $5 million per year, creating a notable financial impasse.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250802_BUS_458791_marcos-rossi-wild-1024x576_22267e51.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-458792" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/02100729/marcos-rossi-wild.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kaapo Kakko #84 of the Seattle Kraken back checks against Marco Rossi #23 of the Minnesota Wild during the first period at Climate Pledge Arena on March 04, 2025 in Seattle, Washington.

<p>A possible compromise could be a short-term bridge contract worth around $4.5 million annually for two years, allowing the Wild roster flexibility while retaining Rossi. As of now, neither party has signaled a willingness to move toward such a deal, prolonging the stalemate.</p>

<h2>Could a trade end the Rossi contract stalemate?</h2>



<p>Trade speculation has intensified amid the contract deadlock. While some analysts floated the idea of an offer sheet from another club, NHL insider <em>Frank Seravalli </em>described that as <em>“very unlikely at this point.”</em> Still, Seravalli did not completely rule out a trade, leaving open the possibility if negotiations remain stalled.</p>

Rossi's contract dispute casts doubt on future with Wild, keeping trade market in play

<p>One of the most talked-about storylines in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a></strong> in recent weeks undoubtedly involves the <strong>Minnesota Wild</strong> and <strong>Marco Rossi</strong>. As one of the most sought-after players across multiple franchises, his future with the team remains unresolved — and at this point, anything could happen.</p>


        


<p>While many are hoping for a happy ending for both sides, the reality is that <strong>neither <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Rossi</a> nor the Wild have made concrete progress toward what could be a lucrative contract extension.</strong></p>



<p>Days ago, reporters <em>Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic</em> shared an eye-opening update that could raise concerns among fans in Minnesota: according to them, <strong>the two sides have not spoken since early June</strong> and, with no sign of an offer sheet coming, the standoff may continue until the start of training camp in mid-September.</p>



<p>At this point, the only concrete offer came from the Vancouver Canucks, who proposed a trade involving the 15th overall pick — an offer the Wild ultimately turned down.</p>

<h2>Wild confident they can reach a deal</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a> know they can’t afford to part ways so easily with one of the most promising players on their roster. And while there’s still no clarity on how things will unfold, there’s growing confidence within the organization that a reasonable agreement can be reached.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/marco-rossi-contract"></div>


<p><em>“There clearly is a difference of opinion with respect to Marco’s value,” </em>Rossi’s agent, Ian Pulver<em>, told Russo</em> in June<em>. “We will continue in good faith to engage the Wild to attempt to reach resolution. We understand that Billy likes Marco, but for how much? And in what role going forward? (That) is the subject of great debate.</em></p>


        


<p><em>“Like the Wild, we believe we have advanced very fair and reasonable contract proposals.<strong> What the future holds for Marco and the Wild, only time will tell.”</strong></em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marco-rossi">Marco Rossi</a></strong> has steadily grown into one of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a></strong>’s most promising young centers, combining sharp playmaking with a relentless work ethic that has cemented his spot in the lineup.</p>



<p>Since arriving in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a></strong>, he has navigated the challenges of adaptation while showcasing the skill set that made him a top draft pick. His rise has been a bright spot in the franchise’s long‑term plans for contention.</p>



<p>His current deal reflects his early career stage, but his performances suggest a bigger payday is on the horizon. Understanding his contract sheds light on his value and the team’s investment in his future.</p>



<h2>What was Marco Rossi’s salary with the Minnesota Wild?</h2>



<p>Marco Rossi has played the final year of his three-year entry-level contract, signed in October 2020.<strong> His base salary was approximately $832,500</strong>, <strong>with a cap hit around $863,333</strong> in the 2024–25 season, according to Spotrac.</p>

<p>That contract also included performance-related bonuses, raising his total annual compensation up to about <strong>$1.6 million</strong> if all clause thresholds were met. Despite recording over 60 points last season, his salary remained modest.</p>



<h2>Marco Rossi’s contract: How long will he stay in the team?</h2>



<p><strong>Marco Rossi became a restricted free agent after the 2024–25 season</strong>, as the Wild extended a qualifying offer to retain his negotiating rights. Negotiations between the team and his camp have stalled.</p>



<p>Reports in mid‑2025 note a significant gap in contract valuation, with him having declined a longer-term bridge deal earlier in the offseason, according to sources like Axios.</p>



<p>While Minnesota <strong>retains the ability to match any offer sheet</strong> from other teams, his future remains uncertain. Whether he re-signs, tests restricted free agency, or draws trade interest, his status looms as a pivotal offseason variable for the franchise.</p>

<p>His tally of 24 goals, 60 points, and an average of over 18 minutes per game during the 2024–25 season <strong>makes him an appealing candidate for a new deal</strong>. At the same time, other NHL teams are reportedly monitoring the Minnesota forward.</p>



<p>Minnesota offered a five-year, $25 million extension (AAV of $5 million), a proposal <strong>Rossi turned down, viewing it as low compared to recent deals like Matt Boldy’s, who earns $7 million annually under a similar agreement. </strong>Now, new details are emerging regarding a potential new offer.</p>



<h2>What would a potential offer for Marco Rossi look like?</h2>



<p>According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, it won’t come easy. <em>“I don’t think anyone would be willing to step up and pay;<strong> I don’t think they could present any number that would scare off the Wild,”</strong> </em>he said via Bleacher Report regarding Rossi’s situation.</p>

<h2>The Wild’s stance</h2>



<p>The front office has taken a defensive approach,<strong> preferring a bridge deal and relying on its RFA rights to match any outside offer</strong>. Meanwhile, Seravalli’s comments reinforce the belief that no team would be willing to go high enough to pry the forward away from Minnesota.</p>

<h2>Teams showing interest in Rossi</h2>



<p>Despite the back-and-forth, Rossi is drawing interest. <strong>The Vancouver Canucks reportedly made an offer that was deemed insufficient</strong>. The Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Montreal Canadiens have also shown interest, although the Wild appear ready to match any potential offer sheet.</p>

Wild receive new update on potential offer sheets for Marco Rossi

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Wild</a></strong> are heading into training camp with a major dilemma at the center position. While Marco Rossi emerged as a key figure following a strong showing in the 2024–25 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl"><strong>NHL</strong></a> season, his contract situation remains unresolved heading into the upcoming campaigns.</p>



<p>The 23-year-old forward recorded an impressive 24 goals and 60 points during the 2024–25 season, averaging 18:15 minutes of ice time per game. <strong>Despite his breakout year, his future with the team is still in question</strong>, and the Wild are reportedly receiving constant updates on the matter.</p>



<p>Rossi has already turned down a five-year extension offer averaging $5 million per season, deeming it insufficient and below what he believes to be fair value. Since then, the situation has sparked a dispute over his worth, <strong>with salary comparisons to teammates like Matt Boldy, who carries a $7 million AAV,</strong> placing Rossi at a disadvantage.</p>



<h2>Will Rossi stay in Minnesota?</h2>



<p>Insider Frank Seravalli didn’t hold back when discussing the gap: <em><strong>“He’s gonna want a deal much closer to the Matt Boldy contract, I don’t think the Wild are going anywhere near that number</strong>, and of course they have the leverage with the RFA.” </em>His statement highlights the clear contrast between Rossi’s expectations and Minnesota’s current stance.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250725_BUS_448116_Marco-Rossi-1-1024x576_3a007342.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marco Rossi" class="wp-image-438747" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marco Rossi of the Minnesota Wild</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Where the Wild stand</h2>



<p>From the front office’s perspective, general manager Bill Guerin has maintained a firm position, <strong>indicating that the Wild aren’t willing to get anywhere near $6 million AAV for Rossi,</strong> while also holding contractual leverage since he remains a restricted free agent (RFA).</p>

<p>Talks have reportedly stalled for weeks, and the team’s operations are virtually on hold as a result. <strong>The situation leaves multiple outcomes on the table: a potential offer sheet from another franchise</strong>, a long-term extension both sides can agree on, or even a trade if the impasse continues.</p>

Marco Rossi reportedly sets firm condition for contract extension with Wild

<p><strong>Marco Rossi</strong> showed an outstanding level of play during the 2024–25 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a></strong> season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Wild</a></strong>, tallying 24 goals and 60 points while averaging 18:15 minutes per game. However, with his contract now expired, speculation about his future with the franchise is heating up.</p>



<p>Since the end of last season, tensions have noticeably risen. Other teams have begun to show interest in Rossi, <strong>but the most intense negotiations are still taking place between Minnesota and the 23-year-old center,</strong> who is looking to take a big step forward in his career.</p>



<p>The Wild didn’t sit idly by at first, as the franchise reportedly offered Rossi a five-year, $25 million extension (with a $5M AAV), <strong>which he declined.</strong> Now, things have gone quiet and no good news seems to be on the horizon.</p>



<h2>What’s going on between Rossi and Minnesota?</h2>



<p>Renowned NHL insider Michael Russo made a revealing statement on the July 21 episode of the DFO Rundown podcast, saying that contract talks between the Wild and Marco Rossi are currently in <strong>“total shutdown mode.”</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250723_BUS_447033_Marco-Rossi-2-1024x576_c928b592.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marco Rossi" class="wp-image-442286" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/16154546/Marco-Rossi-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marco Rossi of the Wild</figcaption></figure>



<p>According to Russo, the two sides haven’t spoken in three or four weeks, and both Rossi’s camp and the franchise appear to be playing a game of chicken—<strong>waiting to see if an offer sheet from another team will force Minnesota to react.</strong></p>

<h2>Rossi’s position is at odds with Minnesota’s</h2>



<p>The difference is clear: while Rossi and his agent are pushing for a long-term, higher-paying deal, <strong>the team is reportedly looking for a shorter “bridge deal” and is hesitant to offer a higher average annual value</strong> (AAV) than Matt Boldy’s $7 million salary.</p>

Marco Rossi, Wild reportedly at a complicated point in contract negotiations

<p>It’s been a year of growth and validation for <strong>Marco Rossi</strong>, and now the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a></strong> appear intent on keeping him in the fold for the long haul. After a promising campaign that saw the young forward cement his <strong>NHL</strong> presence, contract talks are taking on renewed significance as the offseason progresses.</p>



<p>While trade speculation hovered earlier in the summer, recent reports suggest the Wild are no longer entertaining such scenarios. Instead, attention has turned toward negotiating a new deal that would reflect both Rossi’s breakout performance and his projected value to the team’s core moving forward.</p>



<p>The shift in tone was highlighted by <em>Frank Seravalli</em>, who indicated there’s growing momentum toward a contract resolution rather than any departure. <em>“You would think if it was going to materialize it would have already,”</em> Seravalli reported. <em>“It seems at this point they’ve gotta work out a deal to bring him back.”</em></p>



<h2>Is a long-term contract for Marco Rossi on the horizon?</h2>



<p>Given the Wild’s financial landscape and long-term vision, a multi-year extension for Rossi would signal their commitment to internal development and roster stability. The 22-year-old recorded 24 goals last season, showcasing strong two-way instincts and resilience after a slow start to his pro career.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250717_BUS_442790_rossi-marco-1024x576_cb56f887.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-442840" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17130050/rossi-marco.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>&nbsp;Marco Rossi #23 of the Minnesota Wild celebrates his goal against the Vegas Golden Knights with teammates in the first period of Game Four of the First Round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Xcel Energy Center on April 26, 2025 in St Paul, Minnesota.

<p>What stands out most is <strong>Rossi’s ability to evolve under pressure</strong>. His growing confidence in transition, improved defensive positioning, and chemistry with top-six forwards turned him into a fixture in Dean Evason’s lineup. Locking him up now could not only reward that development but also provide cost certainty for a franchise navigating a tight salary cap situation.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-islanders-reportedly-stall-trade-call-on-jean-gabriel-pageau-amid-growing-speculation"></div>


<p>While the Wild have yet to finalize an agreement, the message appears clear: the organization views Rossi as a foundational piece worth investing in. With arbitration rights approaching and other roster decisions looming, an early commitment could eliminate distractions ahead of training camp.</p>



<h2>What a long-term deal could mean for the Wild’s future</h2>



<p>A potential deal would be more than just a retention move—it could reshape how the Wild construct their forward core over the next several seasons. In Rossi’s case, the timing is critical. A bridge deal might be safer in the short term, but a long-term commitment would demonstrate confidence in his trajectory. It could also help Minnesota maintain continuity as they aim to contend with a balanced, homegrown roster.</p>

<p>The Wild’s next move remains to be seen, but all signs point toward one goal: keeping Marco Rossi in green and white for years to come.</p>

Wild reportedly eye crucial agreement to secure breakout forward Rossi's future

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Wild</a></strong> have been involved in an ongoing saga regarding forward Marco Rossi’s future this offseason. As one of the team’s most promising young players, the franchise is evaluating several scenarios for the 2025-26 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a></strong> season, including a potential trade. That decision appears to be tied to another key contract extension. Interested teams like the <strong>Calgary Flames</strong> are closely monitoring the situation.</p>



<p>Rossi’s future with the Wild is under scrutiny, <strong>as a trade has emerged as a real possibility.</strong> The front office has yet to reach a contract agreement with the player, leading to uncertainty while other franchises continue to watch his status with interest.</p>



<p>There are multiple directions the market could take with Rossi amid the current uncertainty<strong>. Several teams have shown interest, especially a Canadian team like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/calgary-flames" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Flames</a>.</strong> In addition, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers have been mentioned as other possible landing spots. However, another negotiation appears to be influencing the center’s future in Minnesota.</p>



<h2>Will Rossi remain in Minnesota?</h2>



<p><em><strong>“If this trade does occur, it might only happen after Kaprizov gets his extension; until that contract is done, there will be some level of uncertainty,”</strong></em> reported NHL insider Nick Kypreos on <em>Sportsnet</em>. According to his remarks, any potential trade involving Rossi, including to teams like the Flames, hinges on left wing Kirill Kaprizov signing an extension first.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250716_BUS_442213_Marco-Rossi-1-1024x576_995f3f29.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marco Rossi" class="wp-image-438747" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/11162157/Marco-Rossi-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marco Rossi of the Minnesota Wild</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Wild have made retaining Kaprizov, their franchise star, the top priority. <strong>That means his contract must be secured before the team considers making moves</strong> that could disrupt their salary cap balance or locker room chemistry.</p>

<h2>Rossi’s situation</h2>



<p>Minnesota is in no rush to resolve Rossi’s future. He became a restricted free agent (RFA) after completing his three-year entry-level contract with the franchise. <strong>The two sides have exchanged multiple offers and counteroffers without reaching a deal. </strong>At the same time, the Wild want to maintain financial flexibility in anticipation of locking up players like Kaprizov.</p>
