Dumba won't have to be the second fiddle to Spurgeon down in Arizona. Yes, Arizona has Soderstrom, but he's still a prospect and it will take time before he's able to prove he deserves a top pairing role.

With the Wild lacking a young, talented top 6 center, Strome would certainly be an option if Chicago decides to move Dach to the middle where he belongs. Strome is a bit of a risk since he hasn't lived up to the hype yet, but Kevin Fiala is proof that some guys take a little longer to break out and reach their potential. Strome wouldn't have to outplay Dach and Toews to earn minutes, which could relieve some pressure and allow him to relax and play his game. The Wild would have two talented wingers for him to play with in Fiala and Kaprizov.

Chicago gets a LD that can produce on the back end but is more defensively responsible than Gustafsson was for them. Chychrun would have more of an opportunity in Chicago without having to play behind OEL.
