I don’t think this matters all that much in the grand scheme of things. This team has a lot of unproven depth and they need ice time anyway. This year is a building year. They’ll get another first round Import Pick next year and probably in the top half of that draft. If both Imports were to have reported, they would have passed on next years pick as both players would have been age eligible to return.
There is a possibility Simontaival would report but at this point, with his scoring touch, I would imagine he’d get significant interest in Europe for real $$$ for the time being. Either that or he’d end up in the AHL.
Rossi isn’t on the radar. No reason for him to play an OA year for recovery purposes. Either he is good to play or he isn’t. He’ll play in the AHL to start the year I would think and join the NHL club when he is ready and the team needs him.
