Jets Should Target Marco Rossi in Trade - The Hockey Writers Winnipeg Jets Latest News, Analysis & More The Winnipeg Jets are always in need of a second-line center, and Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi is reportedly available. Is it a match?

My latest for @thehockeywriters.bsky.social looks at why it makes sense for the #NHLJets to give the Wild a call.

Who knows, maybe you'll even catch my voice on the airwaves at some point too. Stay tuned.

Draft-eligible Michael Misa leading the league with 124 points and 58 goals in 60 games.

Another wild one: Hawks 3rd-rounder Nik Lardis has 70 goals in 61 games.

Crazy stuff in the O.

I tend to stay away from getting too in-depth on prospects because admittedly, I'm not as well read into the evaluation aspect of things in the junior leagues.

That said, there are some INSANE seasons going on in the OHL this season. Wowza.

I had some thoughts on the deadline passing for the Jays to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to an extension, so I dropped it on my Substack.
