Anyone can be traded, but Dumba certainly has the ability to take over games offensively. I always wanted a player that would do that for the Wild...never thought it would be a Dman.
I would still trade Dumba + for a player like Draisaitl. Players like Hischier and Keller are also very tempting. I think Players like Peterson and Barzal are unavailable. It's nothing against Dumba, but more that that I think we need more skilled forwards...hopefully C's....and Dumba is one of the few trading chips that should command a lot of attention. I will say this. NOW is the time when you trade a guy like Dumba, not when he is slumping. I'd be curious to see what he could get in trade.
He is getting better defensively. Part of that is him being better offensively. The more he possesses the puck w/o making bad turnovers, the less he has to play D.
Brodin playing great this year. Hopefully he and Dumba can find a way to be highly effective now that they are together again. On paper it's a perfect match.
