Rumor: Dumba: Several teams interested, part 2

[Bazeek]

Dumba can definitely be physical. But his slightly built (only 180 pounds) so being physical can be hard on his body. He’s had recent injury troubles, right?

He's had one injury where he blew out his pectoral in a fight. Beyond that he's been perfectly healthy.

 

[Sempiternal]

I doubt Minnesota would have interest in either.

It's interesting, because we rarely see fans like the return when they trade the slightly better player. They expect this great player coming back when in reality they get 2 average players that the organization hope will help them. I feel like Athanasiou is like fools gold and someone is going to buy him.

The drop from Dumba to Athanasiou and Larsson is more than "slight."

Would love to see us amass as much draft capital as possible, trade up and take a big swing on a guy like Byfield. Dumba for best pick/prospect package possible, then 9oa and the first from Dumba trade. Is that enough to entice Ottawa for 3oa?

Subjective, but I respect your opinion.

I think that if the Wild had the choice they would take Danault over Domi.

They'd be stupid not to. For the same reasons, I wouldn't trade them Danault though.

No. Ottawa has enough prospects in their pool, what they need is high end talent, and specifically a 1C, and that's what they're getting at 3 and 5.

correct, i'm not opposed to Domi but I don't think either team will find the right price to move Domi to Minnesota.

Montreal probably views Domi in a higher light and Minnesota probably view him in a lower one. the correct evaluation is somewhere in the middle that both teams probably don't agree on.

Never saw Danault being an option to move from MTL. The only reason he would is if his contract demands were outrageous. Why would MN want a part of that?
Now that MTL has signed Petry, I don't see any deal for Dumba to MTL. You don't need a 6M third pairing RHD.

What are you even trying to say with this post? That he wouldn't have delivered the same hit if it was someone bigger?

That Kane's a flyweight

Kane is listed as 3-5 lbs lighter than Dumba is

Is Barkov big enough for your arbitrary standards?

I'm not the one who posted one hit on a smaller player as an example of toughness.
Barkov is bigger alright. Can't say he's any tougher

So in order to be a physical player you have to target only the toughest guys with your hits?

So you're a troll.

That's better than the alternative I guess.

He would be awesome in Los Angeles. What would it cost?

A top 6 center
An earlier 1st+good young roster player or equivalent futures deal

Not at all. I checked out some other highlight clips of Dumba hits. He looks to catch other players with their heads down
What you didn't like that hit against Reaves?

So he's not only physical, but he's smart about it too?

Not sure about the Backland hit but as long as they're legal.

Lol. Did anything more come of it during the course of that game?

Don't know about LA but something around Krebs or Glass from LV would make sense for both teams

This troll attempt is about as sad as your hockey team.
