It makes no sense to me to bring in Rossi in a lame duck year, unless he is absolutely torching the Swiss league, AND Covid numbers are way down/vaccine is ready. We have 13 forwards as is, with only Sturm being waiver protected. Do we really want to send Sturm down, when he really deserves and needs to see NHL time for his development?
In a year when franchises are going to be bleeding money, I can't see Leipold being happy about sending Rask down. Even if Johansson and Bjugstad get injured, then I think that MN will bring up someone like Mayhew, rather than bring Rossi over from SWI.
Even borrowing him to come over for training camp will be problematic. He will have to quarantine both ways, which could add up to 3-4 weeks of the season.
