Moving Forward

I wouldn't use the Toews trade as a comparison. that was one of the most lopsided trades in recent history, sakic bent the islanders over on that one.

That said 2 2nds would be a great deal to get Dumba for the Sens. Not sure if they would do it thou as he is likely due for a big raise and the Sens have to sign Stuzle and then Sanderson coming as well as potentially sign another top 6 Winger for good money so not sure if it makes cap sense to get him unless he wants to resign again for 6 or 7 mill long term.

I think that’s a good comp though, because of the cap space restrictions. But you’re right, it does look real bad now.

I’d guess Dumba wants 6+ million.

Tbh I’d be happy with this return. I don’t see him re-signing in MN and I see his replacement in Addison / Faber.

Is Dumba due for a big raise? I guess I just don’t see a case to be made for him getting more than his current pay.

Maybe I’m underestimating how much GMs will overpay veteran RHD, but his numbers are performance metrics haven’t been very good these last few years, and he has injury history.

**** if he would sign anywhere around 6 per at 8 years i would give up the 2 2nds, you could also probably get Brannstrom instead of one of the 2nds.

I think there is a real value to physical top 4 veteran RHD, the history problems are a question, I was really asking more, but if his value is 6 per and he will sign long term, then I would think the Sens would be happy to take him for 2 2nds. Much better option for a Chabot partner or a Sanderson Partner than what the Sens have now outside of Zub, and the cap hit is manageable.
