Marco Rossi doesn’t intend on making his latest visit to Minnesota a short one.
“My goal is to make the NHL,” Rossi said in a media availability session during the Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase on Tuesday. “ I know how good I am and know I can make it. I have to prove myself to (the Wild). You have to earn that spot.”
Rossi, who turns 20 next week was selected ninth overall by the Wild in last year’s NHL Entry Draft feels he is a more mature and maybe even motivated player than a year ago.
