Marco Rossi, Minnesota Wild

This season was the best yet in Marco Rossi's young NHL career. He finished second among Minnesota Wild scorers with a career-best 60 points, which will provide him validation to seek a significant raise as a restricted free agent this summer.

Despite the 23-year-old's stats, however, he struggled in the second half of the season and was relegated to fourth-line duty down the stretch. That prompted Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic to ponder his future in Minnesota.

Rossi surfaced in the rumor mill earlier this season and earned a spot on our April offseason trade targets list . He lacks arbitration rights, giving the Wild leverage to sign him to an affordable short-term bridge deal, but a rival club could give him a more lucrative offer sheet.
