I value an high end defenseman more than a quality forward. As a winger, (unless you highly skilled like Patrick Kane) you are as good as your centre. I am not criticizing the Wild centres, but Ehlers would thrive on a team like Pittsburgh.
The value of an elite defenceman, who plays against the opposition’s best forwards, grinds it out every game for 20+ minutes, and can contribute offensively should be recognized higher than consist 30 goal scorer, simply in my opinion, that quality of defenceman is rarer.
Dumba’s value is probably lower this season, but I think the Wild could fetch more than Ehlers.
