GDT: G2: Wild at TOR 6pm CT (BSN)

Well, 'decent' is definitely better than below mediocre. But, beyond that, I don't see that he moves the needle much past where the defense was in last nights game.

I don’t think that’s fair , Dumba was a quality top 4 defender in hindsight. The team obviously misses him.

Just didn't have the money to sign him knowing we had to lock up Zuccarello and Foligno.

But why should Dumbs have to go because Kevin had two good months???

Don't miss Dumba at 6M, TBH.

Would i rather have him than Foligno on an equivalent contract? Absolutely.

Dumba's cap applied this season, where the others apply next season. If Dumba's contract had ended next off-season instead of this one, he'd have almost certainly been re-signed, based off of how Guerin spoke of Dumba (glowingly).

Personally, I think the Wild should move on from most of the old guard, but that's another conversation. They most certainly do need at least one more top-4 defenseman this season than they currently have.

I think it’s possible things look a lot better with Spurgeon back stabilizing a second pairing. They definitely could use one more top 4 defenseman though.
