They told me they don't need offensive D

Personally, I would not want to give up a first rounder for Dumba. Hasn’t been all that great since his pectoral injury nearly 3 years ago now and the combination of his regression in play and his fairly expensive contract make him a guy I honestly have little interest in.

Now, he is a physical, offensive minded defenseman who has shown the ability to play at least average defense as well, so I wouldn’t doubt that a number of actual teams would be interested, but I think Minnesota would have to A. Take money back and B. Probably accept a lower return, especially if they’re trading him prior to the expansion draft and are set on trying to protect other players
