Minnesota Wild prospect Marco Rossi has expectations of himself for the upcoming season.
Concretely, the first-round choice (ninth overall) in the 2020 draft wants to establish himself permanently in the National League.
“I want to be there full time and have a big impact on the team,” Rossi said in an interview with the daily. Star Tribune.
Last year, the 21-year-old Austrian played 19 games with the Wild. He had just one assist. He was, however, very good in the American League, where he had 16 goals and 35 assists for 51 points in 53 games.
“There are always ups and downs. Sometimes you learn more in the lows, Rossi said. The last season I had last year was very important, because I learned a lot. […] I think it’s when things aren’t really going well that you can learn a lot.”
In order to achieve his goal, Rossi opted to stay training in Minnesota this summer, rather than returning to Europe.
“I want to be here and work!”
“I want to be part of the team and to be here,” he added. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here. For me, it’s just important to have confidence. I only think about this.”
