The Boston Bruins' top goal this off-season should be to improve their forward group after their ugly 2024-25 season. This is especially so when noting that they traded away multiple forwards like Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, and Justin Brazeau. 

One player who continues to create chatter in the rumor mill as a potential trade candidate is Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi. If Rossi is officially made available by the Wild this summer, the Bruins should seriously consider making a push for him. 

Rossi took a major step forward this campaign for Minnesota, posting new career highs with 24 goals, 36 assists, and 60 points in 82 games. With numbers like these, the 5-foot-9 center would give the Bruins' top six down the middle a significant boost, which is a clear need. Furthermore, the pending restricted free agent would be an obvious choice for their power play because of his playmaking ability. 

Another very appealing factor about Rossi is that he is still only 23 years old. Thus, the possibility of him hitting another level is undoubtedly there. This should make him intriguing to a Bruins club looking for younger, impactful talent.

Given Rossi's young age and strong upside, it would undoubtedly take a significant trade offer for the Bruins to bring him in from Minnesota. However, with the Bruins needing help at center and Rossi blossoming into a high-impact player, Boston should make a push for the 2020 ninth-overall pick.
