Dumba has a NTC im not sure he waives for buffalo. I would think long and hard about that trade if he did waive though. Id also rather pay Ullmark then risk Driedger turning into Hutton 2.0

Dumba's NTC doesn't kick in until the new league year starts, so in theory the trade could happen before then. I just don't see Minnesota wanting to do this since they'll need cap space to extend Kaprizov long term and Reinhart will likely want more than the money they're sending out in Dumba. They also need to find a 1C and no, Rossi isn't a 1C. He hasn't even played a single NHL game, so they're not going to bank on him being it just yet. They'll also likely want some production out of Boldy on his ELC to help their depth.

If I'm Minny, I'm 100% keeping Dumba and Boldy over Reinhart.

Minnesota likely loses Dumba to Seattle so this gets them a high quality asset as opposed to nothing
