Yikes- 2 huge trades

Kessel is good... but he isnt worth a number 1 dman and top 6 winger. Overpayment tbh on MIN. Plus they already have Parise and Suter on Albatross contracts

Jack Johnson is not getting traded while Rutherford is GM.

At $6.8M Kessel is nearly a bargain. Trading him to "get rid" of his large contract doesn't make sense.

It doesnt make much sense for Minnesota either to trade a top pair D who is 24 and a 30 goal scorer for a 31 year old Kessel who likely only has about 2 elite years left before dropping off while also taking a bottom pairing D in Joshnson.

As a Wild fan, this is an awful trade. We have a history of going after aging goal scorers and while Kessel is a fantastic player, I hope we stay as far away from him as we can. Trading Dumba alone would have to mean we are getting an absolute stud 20-23 year old in return, which you have not done here, and you added even more on top of Dumba. This is massively favored for Pittsburgh. The Wild are trading a 26 year old 30+g/60+p winger, a 23 year old potential future Norris defenseman who could easily pot 20+ goals, and a very good 21 year old with 60p upside for a 31 year old 90p winger who probably only has a few years left in the tank, a meh winger, and a defenseman who Pittsburgh fans have been b*tching about constantly on this site, and a measly 4th. No thanks. If we gave up this much, I'd be asking for someone like Eichel and that's never happening. There is nothing Pittsburgh has that I would be willing to give up this much for. Not even Crosby.
