Wild GM Bill Guerin Speaks on Marco Rossi Trade Rumors – Wilderness Walk

Guerin denied a report from DailyFaceoff that he asked Philadelphia for Tyson Foerster or one of the Flyers’ late first-round picks in a trade for Rossi, saying, “I’ve talked to lots of teams about lots of players — not just Marco — and names come up all the time, but there’s never been any serious discussion with anybody yet.”

The Flyers are in the market for a second-line center, as are teams like the Vancouver Canucks, Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Flames and Montreal Canadiens.

Asked if he’s gotten much interest so far in Rossi, Guerin said, “Yeah, teams see this stuff written and they call, but like I said, Marco’s a good player and I’m not interested in making our team worse or postponing our team being better. So I’m not dying to get rid of Marco. That’s the bottom line.”

Most trades this month happen around the draft, which is June 27 and 28, but Guerin indicated he could be active much sooner.

“If we ever did something, I don’t have to wait for the draft or anything,” he said. “But again, that’s not for Marco. That’s for anybody.”
