With the NHL training camp and regular season schedule yet to be set, the Minnesota Wild are trying to make sure that their players are staying game ready. With that goal in mind, the Wild announced today that their 2020 first-round pick, Marco Rossi, has been loaned to the Zürcher Schlittschuh Club (ZSC) Lions of the Swiss National League.

But before fans start thinking this is Kirill Kaprizov all over again, we can take a deep breath, because as The Athletic’s Michael Russo tweeted out, the terms of Rossi’s deal with ZSC contains an out clause that will allow him to return to Minnesota for the start of training camp.
