Can't remember where, but I know our beat writer said Fenton wasn't willing to move Spurgeon nor Dumba for Nylander this past fall. I think the Wild want to keep Dumba for all of the reasons you want him, he was a beast in the playoffs and has been our most electric player. I'd love Nylander, but if we trade a D it's likely Spurgeon or Brodin that goes, not Dumba. Problem is that Wild fans don't feel a piece like Kapanen is enough for a Spurgeon and Leafs fans feel Nylander is too much, with Dumba being pretty much a non-starter unless Matthews is on the table (which is really, really dumb for Toronto, of course).
