Marco Rossi signed a three-year, $15 million contract to remain with the Minnesota Wild after a breakout 2024-25 season that saw him post career highs of 24 goals and 36 assists, along with seven on the power play. The deal locks Rossi into a top-six role the Wild emphasized after the season, signaling a clear plan to lean on his dynamic skill in Minnesota's offense.

durability and playoff experience stand out: Rossi appeared in 167 straight regular-season games, returned from a COVID-19 setback to debut for Minnesota in 2022, and posted two goals and one assist in six playoff games after a shift down the lineup briefly frustrated him. GM Bill Guerin stressed that adjustments are part of winning, not a referendum on Rossi. The Austrian forward’s success continues a line of notable Austrian point producers in the league, with Rossi now aiming to build on his rising trajectory as Minnesota bets on his top-six upside.
