MIN. Rossi projects to be a top six player for them for years to come in a position that they severely lack in, trading him for Knies doesn't make sense, because then they have one centre (JEE) and a ton of wingers (Kaprizov, Knies, Boldy, Yurov, Ohgren)

Matt Knies is a fine power forward prospect but Minnesota is thin at centre and Marco Rossi is the only possible candidate for their #2C next season. This trade would necessitate Minnesota making another move so I think that the Wild would decline.

Are we thin at center?

Ek, Rossi, Hartman, Khusnutdinov, Gaudreau at the NHL level with Yurov/Heidt/Kumpulainen/Bankier/Haight/Stramel/etc all developing.

You don't really pretend to believe that Khusnutdinov is ready to be your #2C or that Gaudreau is qualified to be, do you? Or that Hartman, with his 47% faceoff win rate, belongs there instead of RW? Or that the "developing" kids you name are ready for the NHL this season?

Yes, for the immediate time being, you're thin at centre.

Hartman literally played 1C for 2 years. I think he would be fine there until Yurov arrives.

I’m not trading Rossi for Knies though.

Because Rossi is that much better than Knies? Knies is a rookie, and is a power forward. Far better fit for TO. Rossi is good no question but the fit is silly. And comparing Rossi to Marner and Knies to Myers though is just dumb.
