I don't think that CAL considers Bennett to be a cap dump. He has been a disappointment, but is starting to make himself useful as a gritty bottom six guy.
Maybe. But with the stagnant cap, I don't see anyway they qualify him an RFA offer at 2.5 million next year. So he's on his way out the door probably regardless.
Yeah Zucc plus Dumba isn’t getting you a first.i would still try and trade zuccarello cap dump and dumba for something good maybe high #1 pick. (10-14) if rossi doesn't play for the wild this year i can't see us making the playoffs with such a weak center combo.

Dumba+ what? Last I checked a Florida isn’t hurting for a RHD.Rossi will make the team as the sheltered second line center, go through some growing pains, but Wild will make the playoffs and be a scary first round matchup.
Keep Dumba unless Barkov comes on the market.
There’s a good chance that’s the case. I really only see 4 teams that are in the game for Barkov if he was being dangled this offseason, and we’re one of them. That’s not to say more teams wouldn’t make moves to get into that conversation, though. I think one of the teams that could be in the conversation is Calgary, who could offer up Monahan which would make more sense for them than Dumba. Russo did just say in his podcast that he’s not convinced Boldy is going to have a long future with the Wild as he thinks they’ve been trying to use him in other deals, so I’d imagine he could be who we try to send over there. It makes sense, too. Historically, these types of deals have been top prospect + (depending on level of prospect). I’d imagine it’d take more than Boldy, just not sure how much. Boston is the other team I think would be competetive in making an offer.It's likely that Dumba is a more valuable asset than any single asset that Florida will get when they move Barkov
i would trade dumba plus the worst of our 2 - 1sts next year for barkov if it meant we could be better this season.
Think againYeah, but that's not even close to what it would take. Think Dumba, Rossi/JEE, and Boldy/1st/Beckman at a minimum.
If they are trading barkov they are tearing it down. That means they can trade ekblad hube and anyone else. Flip dumba if they want. Gives them assets to move for more futures. Our package is a great start for that and yes Barkov can command that much if you are trying to get him now vs before he can walk in FA.Barkov doesn't get nearly that much unless an extension is already agreed upon.
And I still don't see why Florida wants Dumba as the main piece.

anyone have a feeling Big Buff is going to decide last minute to play for Wild?
