Pretty bad take.Why would we pay assets for an offensive d who can’t play d.... we have enough of those
Realistically it's still a bad option to sell him off for futures.Neither side will get close to agreeing on his value and he is one of the few players the Wild probably shouldnt move.
Everyone has a price though and if they really want to tank to get some good draft picks trading Dumba for a big haul of futures may be an option.
Only untouchables really are Matthews, Rielly and Tavares
Ya perhaps but the wild dont have many guys they will be able to trade and even less that will return good value.Realistically it's still a bad option to sell him off for futures.
Even if Minnesota's truly awful this year I don't think they're going to jump headlong into a 3-5 year rebuild, which is the only context in which selling Dumba for futures makes much sense.Ya perhaps but the wild dont have many guys they will be able to trade and even less that will return good value.
Trading Dumba for a blue chipper + picks achieves two goals important to a rebuild: acquiring good picks/prospects and making sure your team is in a position to draft as high as possible

Marner not listed here has me curious.
There would be a + on Dumba, but many Leaf fans think the way Marner conducted negotiations will mean eventually when the cap crunch can't be pushed back Marner will be the one to go.
Bad for both teams. The only two players the Wild should try to keep are Dumba and Brodin, because they are young enough to anchor the team defense for years to come.
TOR is one of the few teams out there that doesn't need help in scoring goals and on the PP, and that is Dumba's forte. They need a RH'ed version of Brodin, essentially, a solid defender who can also keep up with the speed of the modern game.
At 11M a year for Marner there certainly wouldn’t be a + on Dumba.
Agreed, Brodin is one of our most movable assets, and will likely be gone by expansion, one way or another.There is no reason the Wild should be focusing on keeping Brodin in the same way they focus on keeping Dumba.
