Rumor: Dumba deal in the works... several teams interested

[Mickey Marner]

Gotta' be for a center coming back. Duchene, Monahan or RNH possibly.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Everything makes sense now. We’re clearing spots for this guy

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

No chance the Flames do that.

Why? They are short on right shot defenseman and Monahan has proven time and again he's not capable of driving play or producing without Gaudreau.

 

[Love]

I understand Vancouvers interest.
Dumba and Hughes would be the perfect ying and yang defense tandem.
The grit, youth, skating ability, defense, offense.

my gosh that would be a legit force of a top pairing

but I don’t think vancouver can afford him.
One can dream

I don’t think Dumba is as good as you think he is

I think the Wild are more likely getting Turris than any of those 3!

Duchene recently signed as a big free agent, the Flames would need a 1/2C back for Monahan, which the Wild don't have and RNH is part of one of the better lines in the NHL.

Yes, we know you hate Monahan but doesn't make sense for the Flames unless Gaudreau is flipped in a trade for a top 6 c or 1st line RW.

That’s my gut. I know a few Wild fans don’t have the confidence that Guerin could get both of those back at this point. I personally would be fine with 10 + Roslovic

He would definitely make our PP better. Roslo seems to be stuck in perpetually here and the 10OA won’t/shouldn’t be NHL ready for a few years, so the deal would definitely help us now.
My other train of thought was resign DeMelo and trade Pionk and Roslo to Minny. I like Pionk but he just didn’t wow me when push came to shove in the playdown
Go after Leddy for cheap or futures to help the Isles out of their cap hell and roll
JoMo/Dumba
Leddy/DeMelo
Slamberg/Poolman
Niku/Stanley/Kovacevic as call ups

 

[Positive Vibes]

wonder if something gets hammerd out tonight

I don’t know that we go for the 2nd deal. It’s not something I would do but I’ve learned not to speak on Huerin’s behalf. I think Winnipeg is in a really, really good spot with Dumba if the can get a serviceable middle-six C

What was inaccurate about my post?

Trade Monahan and you still have

Lindholm
Bennett
Backlund
Ryan

As your top 4 Cs.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Montreal Fans will explode when the read this

Ryder, Halak, 2nd

Monahan is still a top 6 forward. So only Backlund and Ryan as experienced NHL centers. Even if Lindholm can play center than you great a huge hole in the forward group.

Gaudreau- Lindholm - ?
Tkachuk - Backlund - ?

More likely it would be Gaudreau - ? - Lindholm on the top line.

Dumba to the penguins because why not

I have his face photoshopped on a 3-headed monster already. It’s only a matter of time.

Dumba is pretty tough for his size, and last I heard 6' isn't small. The 180 lbs. is probably a stat left over from 5 years ago. I would guess around 190. He tends to go for big blow up hits, and is a decent fighter, though after tearing his pec in the last one he had, I would imagine he is under strict orders not to engage. Horses for courses. He is not a heavyweight or anything, but certainly not afraid of physicality.

 

[Grantham]

Bad plan to move Dumba after a down year... if it's not a legit center coming back, I have my doubts on whether it's worth trading him instead of Brodin.

Dumba was a beast against Van in the playins. Was suprised at is overall game and physicality. Brodin was super solid too, but if I had to choose one it would be Dumba. He was much more dynamic and better offensively while still being good defensively.

But I can understand that contracts play a huge role in these things

 

[SI90]

Why do you trade Dumba? I guess I’d have to see the center they’ve get in return.

Because as of right now Marcus Johansson is our number one center and he’s actually a LW

 

[Gravity]

If you only value Beckman as a B prospect then why ask for him? Then to state the value like it is fact - why bother posting? It really depends on the extension as well, tough to gauge value based on no identified parameters (extension $$? Years?) that are critical in predicting value. If the extension is 5 years @ $3.25 AVV, there wouldn't be a +, if the extension is 8 years @ $7+, then the add better be big.

Yes I only value Beckman has a solid B/B+ prospect for now but that is easily subject to change, he could very soon become one of the top prospects in the world. He had a great D+1 season last year but needs to continue improving. I asked for him because his combination of size and potential goal scoring, if he pans out, is of great value to the Canadiens.

As for Danault, a Danault extension would be negotiated and in place from Min's perspective just as how it was for Vegas and Pacioretty. Danault extended + for Dumba + Beckman certainly seems like a fair deal IMO (not fact) and I believe there is something that could be made to work.

Dumba is good but also a brutal fit with Hughes.

Wouldn’t Dumba’s goal scoring ability/threat open up more room for Hughes and provide him a partner that could convert on his passes. I think Dumba could probably get 15-20 goals if he was paired with Hughes.

 

[Cotton]

Muzzin's also on the wrong side of 30. Dumba is, theoretically, smack dab in his prime.

Muzzin was also playing top pair minutes on a Cup winner, and was voted 11th for the Norris the past 3 consecutive seasons. He was also 29.

Wouldn’t Dumba’s goal scoring ability/threat open up more room for Hughes and provide him a partner that could convert on his passes. I think Dumba could probably get 15-20 goals if he was paired with Hughes.

And what happens in their own end? Neither is a bad defender per say, but neither is elite. Hughes needs a partner like Tanev.
