You are about to hear from the Detroit fans that Hronek is the next Lidstrom.
The second-round pick is inadequate compensation for Martinez, so the Kings trade is short that element plus the compensation for taking on the difference between Marleau's cap hit ($6.25M) and the Martinez reduced cap hit ($2.5M). You owe a player or picks worth $3.75M on that alone.
The very least Minnesota would entertain for Dumba is Kadri or Kapanen, a first and Liljegren, and that might not be enough.
