LeBrun: Oilers and Sens interested in Dumba

[AKL]

The motivation for the Wild is to dump salary so they can bring in a better D like Chycrun.

The Wild don't need to dump any salary to bring in Chychrun, and dumping Dumba wouldn't change anything for next year because Dumba is a UFA.

Dumba is a victim of typical HF Boards BS. He is a very good all-around defenseman.

Ottawa plays, for lack of better words, a structurally dumb way of hockey. They have little to no structure defensively & most of their players are often erratic and make incredibly questionable decisions.

With respect to Dumba, who I'm sure could play a fantastic role for a team like Boston or a team full of high IQ players, would be awful here in Ottawa and would fit in perfectly with the rest of guys who make very dumb decisions that make you want to pull your hair out.

Trading assets + signing him to an extension would probably end in a nightmare situation for the Ottawa

Too much Yang, eventually turns into Yin?

Thus, balance will be achieved.

Trade for Dumba. No regrets.
