Just In: Crazy” GM Bill Guerin Breaks Silence on Trade Rumors Surrounding Marco Rossi
Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin, often known for his bold and passionate approach, has finally addressed the swirling trade rumors involving young forward Marco Rossi โ and he didnโt hold back.
The 22-year-old Austrian center has been the subject of increasing speculation in recent weeks, with several insiders linking him to potential trade packages as the Wild look to retool their roster. Rossi, who posted a solid campaign this past season, is considered one of the organizationโs top young talents, making the rumors even more surprising to fans.
Speaking during a media session on Monday, Guerin shut down the chatter in true fiery fashion. โI donโt know where this stuff comes from, but Marcoโs a part of our future โ period,โ Guerin stated. โPeople call, people ask, but weโre not shopping him. Not even close.โ
Known for his no-nonsense demeanor and unfiltered quotes, Guerin seemed visibly frustrated by the narrative that the team is ready to move on from Rossi, who was a first-round pick in 2020. The Wild GM emphasized that the team believes in Rossiโs development and his growing role in their offense.
โHeโs been through a lot, and heโs only getting better. You donโt give up on talent like that,โ Guerin added.
Still, some analysts argue that if the right offer comes along โ especially involving top-line help โ the Wild might consider all options. But for now, Guerinโs message is clear: Marco Rossi isnโt going anywhere.
