Regardless of whether previous responses accurately value Puljujarvi, Minnesota cannot make that trade.
Like the Oilers, the Wild have a roster with significant gaps. Whereas Edmonton needs a 3C most of all, Minnesota needs at least 3 quality C's who aren't past their best before dates and are able to compete at the NHL level. As for Dumba, I don't think Holland would seek out a trade for a player like him. Edmonton's defense is not as consistently strong as many other teams, but it is not the major weakness with the team either. They are more likely to spend their most valuable trade bits on that 3C, and maybe another solid middle six forward, which would both pay bigger dividends than adding Dumba to the mix.
