24-Year-Old CenterC
Vancouver Canucks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rossi progressed in his sophomore season, improving from 21 goals to 24 and jumping from 40 points to 60 while appearing in all 82 regular-season games in both campaigns. Rossi was productive as a top-six forward during the regular season while clicking offensively with Matt Boldy and Mats Zuccarello. Rossi went through some ups and downs, including a drop to the fourth line during the playoffs, but he still has plenty of upside if he returns to the top six for the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign. He could return to the 60-point plateau, with the potential for more if he maintains a spot alongside a healthy Kirill Kaprizov. Read Past Outlooks

Collects two power-play points
CVancouver Canucks
March 5, 2026
Rossi scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
Rossi had been held off the scoresheet in the Canucks' first three games after the Olympics. The 24-year-old center is still trying to settle in with his new team, though he's in a position to succeed on the second line. Overall, he has 17 points, 42 shots on net, 19 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 29 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
2021
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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to be traded
CMinnesota Wild
December 12, 2025
Rossi, currently working through a lower-body injury, is expected to headline the return to the Canucks in the pending Quinn Hughes trade, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Rossi will give the Canucks the center they've been coveting for nearly a year since they traded J.T. Miller away. Rossi is just one piece of the return, but he should slot into a second-line role once Elias Pettersson recovers from an upper-body injury.
