Dreger: Dumba & Brodin asking price is No.1 Center

[MuckOG]

Well then no 1C for the Wild. Time to blow it up anyway that roster is going nowhere.

It's this insight that keeps me coming back to HF.

 

[Fnysnipe77]

not that i want the rangers to move krider .
How bout krider and anderson for Galch and dumba,
for some reason i see galch game reigniting kappo.

But apparently those guys couldn't get a 1C anyways, so we're back where we started.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

#C is a lot more valuble than a top-4 defenceman. There is zero chance they get what they ask, unless said center is 30+.

Your roof needs repairs that prove difficult to afford. Do you...

c.) burn your house down and try to collect the insurance money.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Is this a way of saying they arent being moved as I don't think any team would offer up a #1C for either

Again, firstly there is no blowing up a roster with Parise, Suter, and Zucc on the contracts they are.

Next, they have an elite defense core. If they can somehow move a D to a team who is desperate, or just straight up stupid, for a #1 or someone who is young and projecting to be, they will, and they will still have a great D core with a good D prospect group.

Fiala, Kaprizov, Kunin, Greenway, JEE, these are young players that will be the future, but they need oh so desperately that #1 C and they are going to fish for that one bass that just gets too greedy for his playoff run and sends the Wild something around the likes of a 1C project.

....or they won't and the Wild will still have these guys, two guys other teams do in fact really covet.

Or, they will send the Wild enough other pieces (say a 1st, a 3rd and a high end prospect that is a C) for the Wild to say OK that's a good return, especially if that prospect is truly elite.

Bingo.

 

[Vegan Knight]

So they aren't getting moved.

Not now. Possibly later, for less.

 

[Sota Popinski]

In what fantasy world does either of those D get a 1C? Holy hype.

In the world where the Wild trade them. I guess your reading comprehension skills need improvement.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Yeah no. There will not be a trade then

 

[Cancuks]

No team will trade their #1 center away. Maybe both those guys could fetch a prospect who could become a #1 center down the road. Players like Hayton, Newhook, Glass, etc. But then you have the cap to deal with.

 

[Dbrownss]

Blues got a 1c for way less

Anyways I could see Dumba getting something in a young top 6 centerman

Wild dont have to trade them. Some of you are failing to realize teams get desperate! Dumba & brodin have terms going into next year and more. Wild could wait

It's a risk. They don't have to move them now, and that's a good thing to make a decisive action if they're serious about it. But this asking for overpayment isn't productive, you just say they're unavailable. You already assume everyone is for overpayment.

Brodin will not have the same value next season, and Dumba would have to have a bounce back season or else his value will be in the good 3C range. If he does, then they have an asset that would be coveted, not 1C coveted but valuable.

All of that is true, my dude. The thing is is that the Wild should as much resign Brodin as trade him.

It's a funny situation to be in for Wild fans. From what I gather, most of us are somewhat laid back about trading or keeping Dumba and Brodin. I'm not sure we are adamant about doing one or the other. Both work (in the case of a trade, the return is key, and in the case of resigning, that money must be ok).

 

[Cogburn]

The title buries the lead about Hall too...

I think it's a fair ask for either, a 1c isn't necessarily McDavid.

 

[Menzinger]

W.Nylander for Brodin.

No.

Hed probably be able to return a Kadri type player.

c.) burn your house down and try to collect the insurance money.

Then you realize there are actually people out there who do this and it’s not as funny because those same people could very well be on HF.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Matthews for Dumba confirmed

Matthews is a 2C.
What is the strong plus?

 

[Hockeyfan200]

Funny! Wild don't have to trade either! Guerin isn't coming out on losing end of this

 

[Bounces R Way]

A 1C for Jonas Brodin..

I think the Wild could be well placed. I don't know if the Wild need to worry about elite centers so much if they have elite wingers in the future. I used to value centers way more than wingers but there are great two way wingers and line driving playmaking wingers that can make average centers look very good. Depth also helps if you don't have elite centers.
