I think that's a pass from Minnesota. Unless you just have a massive hard on for guys at the U of M, the trade doesn't help us. It doesn't address any need for us (other than a 1st but it's in what will probably be the least scouted, most crapshoot draft of all time). The whole point of us trading Dumba is to acquire a top 6 center. Okposo is a glass RW. Mittlestadt is starting to look like a too good for the bottom 6, but not good enough to warrant top 6 minutes so he'd be an extreme longshot to fix out top 6 C issue. Johnson might actually be the most valuable part of this trade outside of the picks, but not exactly enough to make up for the rest and not worth wasting our best trade chip when we really need a top 6 C.
