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

April 24, 2025
Rossi scored a goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.
ANALYSIS
Rossi's play during the first two games of this first-round series earned him a demotion to the fourth line. He was still there in Game 3, but he was able to make an impact with the Wild in control of the line matchups on home ice. This ended a five-game point drought for the 23-year-old center, who may struggle on offense if he remains stuck in the bottom six. Rossi had 24 goals, 60 points, 136 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 82 regular-season outings.

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.

Head coach John Hynes said Friday that Rossi, who has been dealing with a lower-body injury, is a "strong possibility" to return Saturday against the Sabres, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rossi sustained a lower-body injury Wednesday against the Kraken, but he could suit up Saturday without missing any additional game time. He's made nine appearances this month, recording two assists, seven blocked shots, six hits and a minus-5 rating while averaging 18:12 of ice time.
