Value of: Top 4 RHD to Edmonton

[Bazeek]

Two things;

- Dumba is 23.Turns 24 in the summer. Makes 2'ishM. Likely to be signed for 4M, give or take, depending on how he finishes out the season.

- RNH makes 6M. The Wild can NOT take that on, unless someone like Ennis goes the other way.

I also don't see the attraction of RNH. He's OK, maybe even good, when he is playing well. Overpaid , softish "meh" when he's not. He is not the answer to the Wild's problems.

I don't see that trading Dumba from our suddenly thin D is the way to go. Maybe if we package him with another asset, and we get an impact player....don't ask me who.

I don't see it anymore either, for most of the reasons you mention, though I probably like RNH more than you do. I was mostly using it as a previous point of discussion between the teams.

It's pretty clear that the Wild can't realistically do anything major until the offseason, though.

How about an in division trade.

Justin Braun for Ryan Strome + 2nd

 

[PaulZ]

OEL for RHN. Book it.

If they're going to make a move soon, it has to be big it's either going to be that or Pulju for Proverov

 

[DirtySweetness]

Cody Ceci anyone?

 

[A91]

Cody Ceci anyone?

No interest even for free

Book it!

Breaking news that Spurgeon's cold morphing into s mild groin strain(?) has turned into a possible 6 week absence makes Dumba being moved even more unlikely, verging on the impossible.

 

[bluedevil58]

Faulk for....Lucic and a 1st. Straight up trade no questions asked. Canes finally get a guy that knows how to check.

Take far more then RNH to get OEL out of Arizona.

oof. That is really bad for the Canes. Would imagine that if you wanted Lucic for free, the Oilers would give him to you to get out from under that contract

 

[sansabri]

Y'all can have Petry back, btw.

 

[tempest2i]

There are a lot of fans that would take you up on that.

No, they can't.

Doesn't matter. Lucic has a NMC. No way he waives it to go from a team in EDM with McDavid at the helm to a team in Carolina with Jordan Staal? at the helm.

fair point...the weather would be better though.

 

[57special]

Davidson is available.

And he could golf sooner and on some fantastic golf courses. Well, check that. Unless the Oilers turn it around I guess he may be golfing at the same time either way.

When Sekera comes back im fine with our D. It was good enough last season. Having Talbot in net helps alot too. Maybe a Russel++ for a legit puck moving RHD (Mike Green) but I can't see that happening.

Nurse - Larsson
Sekera - Russel
Klefbom - Benning

We need goal scoring wingers, preferably fast ones. James Neal and Mike Grabner would be terrific additions to this team.

Curious on what the ++ would be for Detroit.

We'll it all depends if Chia is willing to commit to playoffs this season. If he is then I could see us giving up a 1st (protected) either this year or next year + B level prospect.

Say: Russel + 2019 1st top 10 protected + Caleb Jones/Ryan Mantha for Green.

Would only work if Green is willing to resign with us at around 5 million. Say 4 years at 5 million. Doesn't have to be a sign and trade but a general agreement.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Yeah no. Not taking a dump with those assets.

I honestly dont feel Russell anywhere near the top 4, especially on his weak side, makes our D corps good enough to go where we want to go. Sadly, Chia saddled us with him.

Depends if he likes nicer weather and s better quality of life for his family or not...

No, it doesn't. He's from western Canada and chose to sign with the Oilers when he was a UFA. You're dreaming if you think he'd waive. Plain and simple.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

We`ve Ryan Mc, but he shot left so that is that. I doubt the Oilers have the pieces for us. We need someone who can play good 4th line minutes instead of AHL god Paul Carey who is 1 pts. in 13 games, and someone to replace B. Smith with horrific defensive reads and lazy start of this season. I can also add Holden in that category they both cost us points last evening in this brief evaluation.
